    What, pray tell, is a hardball fashion question? I'm being sincere. I can't think of what that would mean.

    Question?


    "The chain keeps costs down by manufacturing in low-wage countries like Cambodia" is this fancy talk for sweatshops?


    And don't ALL clothing manufacturers make clothes in low-wage countries? Bangladesh, Turkey, Haiti, Nicaragua... etc. So what is Uniqlo doing that makes their wages uniquely low?

    @LibidinousSlut: To me, it sounds like sweatshop. When something is cheap, there's usually a reason: cheap labor, child labor, no labor unions.

    I love Uniqlo - can't wait to shop there again when I move back to NYC. It's like what the GAP should be.

    @Schmalerie: I used to go all the time when I lived in Japan. I have a fleece (boys, because none of the women's clothing fit my Amazonian size) and an umbrella that are 6 years old and still going strong. The fleece was 1000 yen and the umbrella 500 yen - so dirt cheap.

    @jurisenpai: YES - I have some stuff which is not quite as old, maybe 2-3 years, and all of it still looks brand new despite tons of wear and tear and washing. I really want to take advantage the next time they have a cashmere sale, because if the quality of their other items is any indicator, it's a total steal.

    I think it is so strange that people I know think Uniqlo is this hip, chic place. I used to shop there all the time when I lived in Japan because they had sizes that would fit me. We ("gaijin") thought of it as the Old Navy/GAP of Japan. That being said, I wish that they would open one by me.

    @Sputnik_Sweetheart: People probably just think that because it's foreign and not a chain over here. I don't necessarily consider it a super "hip" store, but it's miles better than GAP/Old Navy in terms of pricing and quality, IMO.

    About a month ago I went to a restaurant for dinner with some friends after a lecture. I had to use the loo and lo and behold, a wee flat screen embedded into the door of the stall.

    And on the screen: the chiseled abs of tightie whitie models. And Karolina Kurkova.

    I wonder if the fashion heavy weights complaints of being slighted reflect a fear of becoming obsolete. I told someone the other day that you can feel the desperation in glossy magazines, which continue to fail to fill their ad pages with things people can't afford and most shockingly don't want. .


    If you can't spark the imagination of the first lady, why would the millions of young girls aspire to buy your stuff or read your articles or party at your clubs.


    We're witnessing the democratization of culture. And it's fantastic.

    Air Skeezy were sold here in Toronto last Saturday. They were waiting for those things and there was record rains those days.

    Some sort of hint?

    If my dude went to stand in line for two days to wait for Kanye West sneakers during our HONEYMOON, you'd better believe he'd be in trouble. Does Vegas offer quickie Elvis-led divorces, as well?

    If my new husband waited for three days outside, for sneakers, on our honeymoon, it better be because James McAvoy was in them and JM and his sneakers were a wedding gift for me.

    Because when I go to a bar, I want to see half naked supermodels.

    Do they think only men go to bars, or something?

    @greengrey: No, probably just that women wouldn't mind enough to leave. It's almost like they're trying to see if the "ladies' night" principle will work in reverse: if we cater to one gender, the other will follow. It may totally fail and just end up being a giant frat party, though.
