Vera Wang's Fall 2012 Bridal Collection and the Question of "Traditional"

      Who says one has to do what society tells them? Who says a bride has to wear white? According to Kelsey McIntyre in her articles History of the White Wedding Dress, brides did not always wear white. Back before the mid 1800s brides wore wedding gowns of many color schemes. Wearing white became a popular style of choice after Queen Victoria married in white. Altho, brides continued to marry in many different colored gowns white became the symbol of purity and innocence. Now a days in present time with a changing society of many opinions and beliefs, what is the real meaning of being "traditional" ? Traditional is based on culture and values, in which everyone has different.
Vera Wang as always, took it to the next step with her Fall2012 Bridal collection. the question of "traditional" is greatly exposed through her line. Being present day, non traditional is the whole point.

Economy Evolving Fashion.

         According to WWD in an article posted on September 23rd by Evan Clark called "Fashion, Faster than Light" has mentioned a great deal of information about how fashion is evolving due to the economic downfall.
This is a time period where technology is evolving greatly, and social networks are used to keep up with the public. Who has the money to shop for a high end designer products? Only the filthy rich. The average Joe will go for bargains. At a time like this the consumer will purchase what it needs first and will ocasionally splerge on the sale racks. Fashion Trend prediction has failed. Designers have to go with what is relevant for the economy today. The consumer has bend the rule of fashion trends, where as designers have to keep up with the constant changes. About a decade ago it was probably the other way around. Time has changed, and so has the money in our pockets.
