We agreed to host the Carnivale of Couture for next week. We feel it is appropriate, since this is the week of September 11 and Fashion Week, to honor Americans who have contributed to fashion (as in designers, historical figures, celebrities) as well as fashion icons that are purely Americana (for example jeans). So here is our quest for fellow bloggers: What American icon is the most influential in what is going on in fashion today, in general or personally? Please email links to us by Monday. Thanks.
