Fashion Week to Work Week: The MOM

Now that Fashion Week is over, have we all noticed a glaring trend? While many designers tout themselves as cutting-edge -- avant-garde, if you will -- I'm sitting here saying, It's about time "The Mom" look caught on.

Product? Styling tools? A brush? Pshh.
Designers like Nanette Lapore give us the A-OK to call our bed head a "style."

Forget about styling. How about those days when showering is a near impossibility?

Oscar de la Renta

and Ralph Lauren show us the glamorous glamamarous side to being dirty.


Designers are also sympathetic to those segments of the population drowning in laundry.
Down to your last pair of work jeans? Just throw on some fabulous shoes. Done.


And ladies? Make up is apparently SO 2009. The new decade is all about the don't-try-so-hard look. Twist my arm, why don't ya.

Is it just me, or does this Phi model look like she's been up all night with a colic baby?

Besides stealing our fashion and beauty sense, designers created looks with breastfeeding mamas in mind.

Max Azria gets the cake for designing a breastfeeding-friendly dress that also covers up the extra baby weight lingering around.


Ah, Marc Jacobs.
Marc truly gets it.
For those mothers getting dressed for work in the morning, fumbling around in the dark as to not disturb a sleeping baby and a snoring husband: As long as all the garments are there, in some working order, you're good to go.


If this is any indication of a looming trend, I'm seeing hair-elastic bracelets and chic shoulder stains for Fall 2010.
