Am I a snob for not liking Coach because it's too suburban? Because if so, I shall continue to turn my nose up at their offerings.
As for Vogue, I really hope this makeover is actually a makeover and not Anna Wintour's no doubt lazy definition of a makeover. I've been reading a few Italian fashion magazines lately (just to practice while I'm not at school), and I don't know if they seem special because the content is in a different language, or if the content is genuinely better, but Vogue needs to catch up. Desperately.
Unpredictability in Vogue means reading hints about 'being different' and 'shaking things up' and 'maybe no more jumping, who knows?' and opening the new issue and seeing the same old jumping blondies in dated layouts and rich ladies writing about their sad, sad botox/pedicure/facials.
Isn't diamond one of the hardest substances in the world? One would think that diamond dust would tear your corneas to shreds if it got in your eyes. Is she going for that whole Madonna-weeping-tears-of-blood effect?
@MizJenkins: You're only really in trouble if you coat your entire body with diamond dust. They had to vacuum it out of Tobias' lungs on Arrested Development.
This 'new circle of models,' they'll all be varying shades of caramel, right, with long flowing hair and button noses? And the fresh young photographers will have great ideas for them like 'Bend your arms forward to make your clavicles stick out more' and 'Can you pretend you're slumped on the floor, dead?'
@lilbobbytables is a la-di-da feminist: I think I want the American Flag and $ one. Since they are ONLY available in Marc by Marc Jacobs stores and I do not think I live near one, I may end up with a knock off. Unless these babies sell online. Do they sell online?
Those Lily ads border on adorable. What's holding me back harkens to the LiLo Marilyn thing. As I am over the emulations Audrey in her Breakfast at Tiffany's look.
I kind of thought Michelle looked too casual when meeting the Queen, as well. I hate when people's - not necessarily people here, but on "The View," for example - response to criticism of Michelle or Barack is along the lines of, "She's a wonderful person. She's a good mother. He looks a great father. Etc." What does that have to do with the criticism at hand?
Here's what I don't get about designers suing Forever 21 for copying their looks: is Forever 21 really pinching the designers' markets? I can almost guarantee Trovata that the people shopping at Forever 21 would not have purchased the "original" item from the designer line ever, ever, ever.
@jigglyball: I agree. Outright copying a design is tacky, sure, but I don't think it takes away their customers. All fashion trickles down in one form or another, and designers copy each other all the time.
Three on the left: Very funny joke going on. I want to know what is it all about! Three on the right: Looking at the same place with WTF faces. Why? I want to know too! Why people don't explain these kinds of things to me, you know, the important stuff, why??!

Reed Krakoff, though, is a genius. I may not be their market any longer, but it's wide-reaching. I have a lot of respect for him.

Gotcha! Let's see what happens next month!
