The fashion world, like all other microcosms, often takes itself quite seriously. But it is hard for me to say some terms without cracking a smile. Such is the case for a current shoe heel, called a pancake heel. At least the name describes the heel accurately: it's a small round disc on the bottom of the shoe.
Another term that makes me laugh is the "micro trend." This suggests that a trend is going to have an even shorter run than usual.
I appreciate talented designers and fashion folks who can see the humor in their business. Clinton Kelly, Diane Von Furstenberg, Isaac Mizrahi, and Tim Gunn come to mind.
