Members Queen Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 What's the deal with Flannery's complete decline in wardrobe. Why did she go from stunner to Hillary Clinton pantsuits? How odd that on a show about fashion, the show's matriarch is the least fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bandbfan Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's completely her doing isn't it? She doesn't care about looks like most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's completely her decision. Susan has fibromyalgia and she's in remission for colon cancer (6 or 7 years remission) and she limps slightly, I don't know what that's a result of, might be arthritis, might be a knee injury, might be related to fibromyalgia. In any case, my bet is that the pantsuits are easy to wear, easy to move in and comfortable. That's also why she wears the shoes she does, they're flat and comfortable. According to B&B's costume designer, she made Susan one suit a number of years ago...Susan liked them and she requested that the designer make more and more and more and here we are, years later and it's suits galore.

Members Ben Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 SF should be comfortable, but why can't the designer create a more modern look? Why must all the suits be identical? (Bar colour.) Change the shape slightly, or add a different design... anything to make it seem like Stephanie hasn't bought out the entire stock in one fitting. I do remember a time when she used to wear a lot of scarves, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 Naive as I am, couldn't some of these suits be glammed up with glitter, patterns, etc? That said, here is why it works for me as it is. I interpret it as...at some point...Stephanie gave up. She gave up her sexuality, her fashion sense. She became the antithesis of what she was...and clearly this symbolizes her utter movement away from being the kind of woman Eric craves. Which explains why he keeps gravitating toward women who look like she used to. So, her plainness works to give motivations for Eric's whoreishness.

Members sacha Posted February 15, 2009 Members Share Posted February 15, 2009 I don't like the shoes she wears either ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
