The Search is Over

It took me no less than twelve hours and multiple Google searches to do it, but I finally figured out the proper term for Rebecca’s design creation from yesterday (and I must note that my relentless pursuit of the term only indicates my obsession with correct English vocabulary, not obscure fashion terminology.  I’ll leave that sphere of interest to my daughter). 

Rebecca’s fashion career has officially started with the creation of a bolero jacket.  Here’s a photo of one I found online, for comparison purposes.

Of course, Rebecca has made her own modifications, such as cropped sleeves.  But I think it’s a rather stunning imitation, don’t you?

I’ve never been a fan of modern fashion, but Rebecca’s unintentional foray into the design world has made me even more skeptical of its claims on creativity.  Since I’ve now come to believe that the first bolero jacket was most likely invented because Senor Bolero’s toddler pulled her shirt halfway over her head, how did other trends come to be?  Was the first tube dress patented after an infant shimmied partly out of her onesie?  Were capri pants merely the accidental result of putting hand-me-down pants on a growing child?  So the next time you see a trendy new style, don’t thank the designer…thank her kid.
