Combustion: Fashion Week In Istanbul!

A month long span of fashion shows was not enough for these apparel lovers so, off they jet to the land of the Turk's. Week five of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has come and gone and was held in the colorful, exotic, spicey city of Istanbul, Turkey. If you're thinking, "I've had Fahion Week up to my eyeballs" then at least relish the cultural infusion you've received as you've travelled the globe hot on the heels of the latest and greatest. I personally don't think anyone has had that thought ever - so let's proceed! We (people that obsess, drool and die over fashion) are getting to see the world, through our Jackie O sunglasses, and it's quite fabulous, actually. Besides the absurd Turkish baths, the rainbow spice markets and the unbelievable mosaic Mosques, what did the Turk's show us?
Among many wonderful trends that were revealed during Istanbul Fashion Week I found myself asking the question, "Did I miss the revolution where undergarments became acceptable to be well, visible street style?" Isn't the operative word here "under"? Clearly, because it was a pattern among these designers that the exposure of undergarments is acceptable in fact, it's in style and if you are lacking coverage than so be it! This reoccurring theme (or lack there of!) between designers wasn't your average cheery floral print or high low skirt trend. I mean, I suppose their motto is 'less is more'. Who really knows? I guess I am going to have to take the plunge and let my granny panties peek out for the world to see. If Turkey is doing it, why not bring it stateside? That does it on my coverage - so to speak - on Fashion Week - Istanbul!
