When Models are Too Tall for a Dress





These pictures are from the Amanda Lew Kee show at LG Fashion Week in Toronto.   Several pieces in Amanda's Spring/Summer 2011 collection feature dresses in this length, which would work better on shorter women than the 5'11"ish models.  I know they say that clothes "hang better" on tall people, but this is, in my opinion, ridiculous.  I realize the model is wearing leggings/tights in the first picture, but since they are close to her enough to her natural skin colour, it is telling the viewer that what she's wearing is meant to be a dress rather than a long shirt.  Sorry, but it doesn't look good in this case.

I'm a Barbie Girl and More Petites at LG Fashion Week!

Mattel (or more specifically, Barbie and her friends) are one of the sponsors at LG Fashion Week.  For the Spring/Summer 2011 event, there was even a life-size pink box for attendees to go into and have their picture taken!

Fashion Week Barbie (Media Barbie?  Blogger Barbie?) is wearing:

Cardigan: Ann Taylor XXSP

Skirt:  H&M, size 4

Scarf:  Moschino

Boots: Donald J. Pliner, size 5 (yeah, yeah, I've been wearing them all week)

NOTE:  Laptop, Camera, Smartphone and Media Pass sold separately (hehehe....had to say that)

More Petites at LG Fashion Week!

Here are more pics of petites at LG Fashion Week. I hope everyone had a great time!

Petites Ruling Fashion Week!

The fashion world may be full of tall amazons, but Toronto's LG Fashion Week certainly isn't! In fact, there were plenty of petite ladies at the shows. Maybe some day, the fashion world will see an actual petite collection! By the way, yes, the woman in the floral dress in the centre of the middle right picture is INDEED Jessica Biffi, an alumna of Project Runway Canada.
