YAY or NAY?

We’ve been seeing pretty bows on the runways these past seasons, from handbags, shoes, dresses, to blouses, they’re all adorned with bows. Classic bow ties, the ones usually worn by men, have been reappearing on the runways of Fall 2008. Karl Lagerfeld and Carolina Herrera are among the ones styling their collection with bow ties. Model Irina Lazareanu wore her 3.1. Philip Lim tuxedo dress paired with a cute bow tie to the Met Gala event last year. The first things that come to my mind whenever I see a woman wearing a bow tie, are the Playboy Bunnies, with their fitted corset, bunny ears, fishnet tights, and a bow tie collar ;d I’ve also seen women wearing bow tie in some conservative hotels in Switzerland. They were the front desk or concierge employees. I guess it’s part of their daily uniform hehe ;D
Those bow ties actually reminded me of my days at Club Monaco. I remember watching my male coworkers tying their bow ties. And how I wish they made me wear them as well, that would be so much fun!

On the other hand, women wearing bow tie could be considered as a statement. Remember the legendary portrait of Marlene Dietrich wearing tux and a bow tie? It used to be associated with woman’s equality, liberation and all that “feminism statement view”, while others simply see it as an androgynous and menswear inspired fashion statement. So, what do you think? Yay or Nay?

I’ve always had a thing for bow, mau dibaju, sepatu, asesories, tas etc so YAY from me

YAY! suka banget sama semua yang berbau pita
cowok aja yay apalagi ceweq hehehe..
but it looks like chic boyish sometime
cute….apalagi warnanya mathcing:)
oooh, marlene dietrich! *swoon*
well actually, waktu kemarin cari2 dresscode untuk nonton bareng sex and the city, maksud gue bows, sebenernya. tapi kayaknya ‘bows and red lips’ don’t rhyme as well as ‘ribbons and red lips’, hahaha.
anyway, YAY from me.
selera sih ya..IMHO, nay kalo pake dipadu pake kerah… hehe
lebih lucu kalo dipadu sm blazer+daleman yg polos2 gitu, dan bow nya dibikin dr syal polos, jd jatohnya agak nge-puff.. sekedar share aja.. ^^
very yay asal jangan dipake dengan gaya konvensional ala cowok…
women with bow..yay..with bow tie…hmmm ga terlalu suka sih..tapi foto pertama, 3 dari kiri looks ok sih soalnya ga terlalu bow tie juga
YAY!
keren, sexy….butuh ilmu mix match yang ok agar tepat penggunaannya
yay….
jadi keliatan sexy…palagi contoh pic diatas…cakep2.jadi terinspirasi…pengen pake juga…^__~
