Designers are finally taking my bow declaration to heart. Bows abound. (Nice work, Gwyneth.) Unfortunately they seem to be in the wrong place. Get those bows away from the neck and back on the butt where they belong! And since some people have asked, of course I loved Sandra Oh’s lambasted-till-someone-got-educated SAG award gown! Embed…
