The undulating health / fashion week report

Question: What’s more fun to caress and look at than muscles?
Answer: Nothing.

Fashion week has long been over and now that the dust has settled, pop culture is finally able to personificate what they should invest in. That’s right, rumor has it that the next big-thing is going muscle! The forecast for the future shows chances of huge defined bulges coming from arms, legs, chests, and even buttocks.


Apparently this isn’t going to be just a passing craze either. While this year’s designers were sifting through recycled culture for imaginative stimulation, they finally found revelation in what nature rewards with sweat and diligence.

Muscle! To give their visions an edge, designers turned to artists for inspiration. Marc Jacobs sought out Richard Prince to collaborate while artist Takashi Murakami made his impression on Louis Vuitton. If that wasn’t enough, even Prada’s spring show seemed to showcase the exact same. Up and down fashion week, Runway to runway, the color and fabric of designers varied yet the continual constant stayed muscle. The proof is found within the ripped abs and contoured jaggedy edges of the models bodies. In fact, muscle is so hot now, it’s getting hard to find.


While consumers flood the malls in search of this hot new trend, cultural analysts are noting the depletion of muscle everywhere, especially in local shopping centers across America. Despite the lack of muscle nationwide, urban centers such as New York, Boston and L.A. are noting accumulating muscle, especially in local hot spots.
“If you want muscle, the city’s the place to be,” says Boston resident Peter Marino.

That's right! In Boston you can just go down to the corner and buy a bag of muscle on the street now! It's so convenient!
