I notice there's nothing about the "unpleasantness" with a fashion designer (she was banned?) and the "makeover" following an uncharacteristically scathing FWD article. LaVieEntiere (talk) 04:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ms. Horyn admitted she originally had absolutely no interest in fashion or writing about it. I think she said she would prefer to be a sportswriter. She literally has the worst taste and a lack of appreciation of beautiful clothes. She'll praise anything above the knee but even the same dress or skirt a few inches longer (even just covering the knee) she automatically finds repulsive. She seems to have only one idea: that the late '60s miniskirt is the greatest idea ever conceived (except for rock and roll) and that it can never be supplanted. To her, it's the symbol of all that's "modern" and the essence of all things sexual. After all, no one ever had any sex before the mini was conjured up and forced on the public over a period of years, right? In addition, Horyn is not the second NYT fashion critic after Amy Spindler (who must have been Horyn's mentor because she also considered minis the ultimate). Eugenia Sheppard was an esteemed earlier NYT fashion reporter and quite a bit more interested in fashion than her successors. Of course, there was better fashion in those days. Why can't there be someone who disagrees with Ms. Horyn in the fashion pages of the Times? Editorial pages always present different viewpoints so why can't NYT fashion reporting be more comprehensive, less restrictive and not only in praise of endless, repetitive '60s revivals? I wish someone would offer Ms. Horyn a sportswriting job and we could get a Times fashion reporter (not necessarily a critic) who appreciates great style. And women would again be encouraged to wear beautiful and classy clothes and not just "show off" their legs as how they present themselves. And the new Times fashion writers would show more photos of styles by more designers, not just what Horyn is enamored of. There would be more to fashion than just legs. I always have to go to Style.com to see all the collections that Horyn doesn’t approve of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Genny90two (talk • contribs) 01:42, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
