Incrementally Changing Our Landscape

Wang has red wedding dresses for Spring 2013. Although she doesn't specifically come out and say it, it is clear that her influence is the red wedding clothes worn at Chinese weddings.

This blogger found out more information about the background to this all-red 2013 bridal collection by Wang:

Vera Wang’s collection was titled “Mei Meng” (with accompanying Chinese characters) which means, “Dream.” Per the notes in Wang’s spring 2013 lookbook:

Beautiful dream. The symbolism of Red. Boldly romantic, charming, protective, grand, seductive, sexy. From dahlia to scarlet, crimson and vermilion. A celebration of love.

Another thing that struck me is how unattractive (or unattractively made-up,
with dishevelled hair, etc) Wang's models look, compared to the well-styled Amsale models.

I wrote to a correspondent about my posts on swimwear designer Jessica Rey (see below for links to posts on Rey):

I hate to say this, but this is how I find Asians. They have a certain level of intelligence and cleverness, but it gets lost in SOMETHING. What we end up getting, as a society which now seems to worship Asians, is things slightly below our standards, which we accept for now, but will eventually, incrementally, begin to notice the differences.
