Undiscovered Talent from Around the Planet
When I see clothing shown on the runway, I always wonder where I can get them. More particularly, I wonder where one can get the clothing that is shown on runways more than just in Paris. There have been shows that I have seen on YouTube from Russia and Japan that had some very intriguing clothing. While many readers like to wear head to toe vintage clothing, others are concerned with supporting emerging talent. It just seems to take awhile for things to trickle down, if they ever do.
PlanetTogs seems to bridge the gap nicely. While many buyers and magazines are at Fashion Week, they are looking at what is going on in Brazil, and even Riga Fashion Week in Latvia. Often, the website is the only way to obtain the items within the United States, and sometimes the world.
The price points vary widely, but they are much lower than many high fashion items from Paris designers, partly because of the name recognition. There are many undiscovered designers that are creating things that are very different from what you would see in mainstream magazines. At left is a denim skirt from an Australian designer, Pizzuto. It is priced within reach at $124.00. There are also items from designers from Serbia, Brazil, Singapore, Spain, and more.
All of the items are made within the country of their designer. So, when you order an item from a Spanish designer, you will not receive an item made in China. Often, designers use fabrics and raw materials that are locally sourced, and so are the garment makers. You can be sure that you are supporting a designer’s creative team with your purchase.
Right now, the ladies have all the fun. Perhaps some day they will offer things for men as well. In the meantime, ladies can sure to find items that no one else will show up to the party in, and you can feel confident that you can give a unique gift.
