peacock print update: katy perry wears them too!

as an update to my first blog, i saw that katy perry likes to sport peacock prints too. according to instyle.com (http://ow.ly/2xMk), katy wore this short feather dress with black tights to paper magazine's "the beautiful people party." the dress is from british designer matthew williamson's collection for h&m.

although i normally admire katy's crazy fashion ensembles, i really don't like this particular use of peacock prints, especially with katy's choice of makeup and hairstyle. too many colors going on for me and the dress is not flattering.

prêt-à-porter [pret-ah-pawr-tey] or ready-to-wear (off-the-rack in casual use) is the term for factory made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes; opposite of haute couture.

prêt-à-porter pb-to-la is therefore an informal, off-the-cuff view on fashion to guide you on the style map from palm beach to los angeles & beyond. rather than featuring content that is made to measure or specific to one type, prêt-à-porter pb-to-la offers style news in many sizes to fit everyone.
