For Fashion Month: SKIRTS

                                                                 SKIRTS
                         
 

         
                             FOR SPRING


   Louis the XIV declared that "Fashion is the mirror of history." I think his observation was on the   money, speaking of which, fashion today is really a business. I've become nonchalant to the business of fashion along with the flamboyant evolution of its self promotion. The artistry still remains out of the public eye, but in the imaginations and craftsmanship of the atelier. 
  Skirts are a personal favorite. The earliest skirts observed were specifically to cover and protect the genitals from insects, the swishing motion was a deterrant to keep the harrasment in check. The  haute designs of  skirts today have metamorphosized from long, bouffant, hoops and bustles to hobbled, maxi, midi, mini, a-line, bell, pouf, dirndle, straight, pencil, slit, pleated, circle,  full, tailored and statement. Wow! Quite a selection...
  Here are a few favorite skirts for Spring:
