Hey, don't we all, sister...
BTW, any word on that Ambassadorship she was angling for?

Sorry, but fashun~~~ has it's mystique because it is NOT accessible. It's not like the middle class is running around naked. There are brands for every income bracket. You can not possibly expect Oscar de la Renta to start making dresses for $300. Vera Wang Lavender Label, Betsey Johnson, DVF, etc already make those dresses, not to mention the hundreds of department store brands that don't show during fashion week because NO ONE CARES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT "SPECIAL."
Yeah, we would all love to be wearing Calvin Klein Collection, but if all of a sudden we could, I doubt we'd be excited about it anymore.

Easy: Send it to Salzburg to work as a governess for seven over-diciplined, vocally talented children.

Anyone interested in the business side of fashion should read Deluxe by Dana Thomas- it is wonderfully researched, and very well-written.

"Yesterday morning, the Council of Fashion Designers of America held a private town hall style meeting to discuss the future of fashion week"

I completely and totally disagree on the food comparison. Fresh food and vegetables aren't high fashion; they OUGHT to be available to everyone, and that's why you have so many people working so hard to make it so, while you don't really see anyone starting a non-profit in an inner city to provide Chanel to those who can't afford it.

I don't really disagree with you: Food is more important that fashion. But there's a difference between the kind of cheese and vegetables that you can buy when you are on food stamps and the kind you can buy when you have an unlimited budget. Strictly in terms of nutrition, they're both healthy food sources. But in terms of aesthetics and pleasure, many people would favor the latter over the former.
To people who really appreciate clothes (beautifully made from the best fabrics), "canned" Talbots product isn't going to be the same.
I don't have a lot of expensive clothes, but it is irritating when I buy sweater from the Gap and after two wearings it has pilling all over. Sometimes cheap isn't the answer.

I think when it comes to fashion and the practical shopper you have to more creative than the local mall, I find the best things from vintage and a few reliable thrift stores.
Ultimately I view high fashion differently from mere clothing - It's art to me, I don't ever expect to own it, but I can appreciate it's beauty and find inspiration from it.

Also--if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a designer creation, (not thousands), it had better be good quality. Sorry, but a name on a label isn't enough. I want good fabrics and good fabrication before I shell out my dough, or I will just buy the inexpensive stuff.

Anyway, why can't they implement any changes at all for this Sept? If they want to save their butts, why not act fast?

Tahari has the right idea with spacing out shipments. Customers get bored very fast, especially with fashion.
