Happy Holidays

The holiday season is here. It’s hard to believe that we already have another year under our belts. We’re over half way through the first decade of the 21st century and there are still fashion references to the 60s, 70s and 80s.

You know what that means? We seem to be hanging on to the nostalgia of the past so dearly. The last few seasons in fashion have seen the revival of the punk rock, heavily layered, bright colored, tiered skirted 80s.

Even our music has seen the resurgence over and over. Hip hop culture keeps bringing us back through amazing samples and most kids born in the eighties have no idea whom originally created the song.

There are so many events going on this month that it’s hard to juggle schedules for most people. If you’re in New York on December 3rd stop by the Shop N. Mingle event hosted by Harriet’s Alter Ego. Email shop_n_mingle@yahoo.com for more information.

This is just a few of the happenings this month. With the year winding down most people are preparing to gather with family and friends during the holiday festivities. Before we know it, we’ll be cheering ‘Happy New Year’ while we click our wine glasses and toast the new chapter in life.

I would like to wish everyone all the best this season and for the new year. I would also like to express my gratitude to everyone for taking the time to read ‘A Slice of Fashion’ every month.

Sincerest thanks,

Ivy Prosper
