There’s fashion. And then there’s felonies.
Fashion, as described by some, is a “form of escapism- a temporary tattoo that lets you speak with wild conviction but then take it back whenever you want. Fashion is so much more than just clothing for the people who they let it in; it can become the greatest sum of your parts, a megaphone for the articulation where words simply will not work. it can be a drug-free boost that makes a terrible day seem slightly better, a reminder through the depths of desperation that even if nothing else is going as planned, you’re armed” –
As Diana Vreeland famously said: “Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.”
A felony is defined as any crime for which the punishment can be more than a year in jail.
And then there are fashion felonies.
A purple and red madras shirt with yellow pants and pink sneakers?
Welcome to my blog!
I am a fashionista. I follow what’s new; what’s hot; and how the right pair of shoes (on sale of course) makes it perfect.
But I am also an attorney in South Florida. I know felonies. Over the years we often say that South Florida is the capitol of ….cocaine trafficking (1970’s-1990’s); Mortgage Fraud (mid-2000’s); medical fraud (now).
But South Florida also sets trends in fashion. Millennials on South Beach. Bored Models and Sugar-Babies window shopping at Bal Harbor.
It is the intersection of Fashion, felonies, and fashionfelonies that what this blog will be all about. I hope you enjoy it.
Take a look at some of these fashionfelonies brought to you by Gucci et al:
It’s the dragon. It’s the spikes. It’s everything.
Felony #2: It’s not that an animal died to make this boot. It’s that I wanna die when I see it.
Felony #3- If an alien saw this when they landed, they just might turn around and leave and report home “no sign of intelligent life here.”
Felony #4 That black and red stripe. It’s like they ran out of material and found some scraps on the floor: “Maybe no one will notice.”
Felony #5: For a moment I whipped out my phone to check the date. “No, it’s not April 1 and I don’t see any hidden cameras for punk’d…”
