Nostradamus Predictions 2010-2011 Fall Fashion

Aug. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Luckily, through channeling, I am able to report to you what Nostradamus predicted for Fall Fashion 2010-2011.

As you are aware, the great seer wrote his predictions in the form of quatrains; four line poems.

Here is the quatrain he passed along to me, “from the other side…”

“Fluffy, shaggy, thick, rich fur,
Tweed and glitter, ruff collars of lace,
Ice cube heeled polar bears, purse in hand,
Madame Chanel smiles on Lagerfeld’s command of the brand.”

Students of the writings of Nostradamus will debate all day long about the true meaning of this prophesy.  To students of fashion, its meaning is clear.

Let’s remember that in 1555, when Nostradamus completed his first book of prophecies, it became an instant best-seller. Queen Catherine de Medici sent for Nostradamus for a one-on- one with the visionary.  And what was the Queen wearing during this meeting? A lace ruff collar, rich brocade cut sleeves, fur trim, piles of jewels, a farthingale perhaps?

Is it any great mystery that Nostradamus was so impressed by the royal wardrobe, that he secretly began to aim his prophetic vision toward fashion? What could be more natural?

So in September, when the Chanel Fall Ready to Wear hits the stores, you will be ready. You will be familiar with the brilliant collection presented in March, 2010 by Karl Lagerfeld, in the Grand Palais, Paris, into which a 265 ton iceberg was imported from Scandinavia.  The 28 foot tall iceberg was the perfect backdrop for the furry runway fashions. Tweed interwoven with fur trim, fur jackets, fur coats, fur pants and yes, fur shorts. Polar bear appropriate. Wild, wooly and wonderful.

Just don’t call it “fake fur.” Mr. Lagerfeld says that term is derogatory. After all, we don’t say fake jewelry, we say, “costume jewelry.” Mr. Lagerfeld would prefer we use the term “costume fur,” as this is more imaginative, more like a fantasy.  Of course we agree, both with Mr. Lagerfeld and Nostradamus.

Although the great prophet has accurately predicted a great number of historic events over the last four hundred and fifty years, this could be Nostradamus’ biggest triumph.
