i would LOVE if betsey johnson did a line for people with normal clothing budgets! i do think she will have to be careful, though, that it doesn't wind up looking like something out of a lisa frank binder. love what she does, but it works because it's quality.
@amoeba formerly hippichx: I would wear clothes that looked like something out of a Lisa Frank binder EVERY DAY if I had them. I actually have a Lisa Frank binder that I still use all the time, from the 90's. With unicorns. It's awesome.
@prismatism: They sell Lisa Frank stuff at Target in the dollar bin and at Michael's craft store (in the $5 & under bin). I have a wonderful collection of Lisa Frank bookmarks and mini-notebooks.
@HannahBethD: I think Clinique could easily be considered a luxury brand, in that it's not a drugstore brand and you need to go to a department store or Sephora to pick it up (and it's much more expensive, by comparison).
@hortense: But fashion? I guess makeup could be considered in that cluster, but a distinction is usually made between clothing and accessories and cosmetics.
And yeah, I could see it being technically considered a luxury brand, but that's some crazy hair splitting!
Oh man, I really want a Betsey Johnson Target Line. I mean the QVC thing sounds fun but I would actually buy her stuff at Target. She is the one designer whose stuff I really covet.
@PinkSoxHat: It's actually kind of cool looking, though I think the technique would work better on something like a sheath dress - the sleeves on the shirt look a bit puffy.
I doubt she cares, since she's so edgy and all, but Megan Fox's makeup is seriously fucked up in that picture. I hate when people get pictures of me with nasty eyeliner and bleeding lipstick!
@Tippi Hedren: It would be amazing. And I might finally get to own something Betsey Johnson other than sunglasses and bras. Or would her stuff still be expensive, just expensive-on-tv? Either way, it'd be way cool.
@prismatism: Macy's has some reasonably priced Betsey Johnson jewelry. I picked up some spider earrings and a gold snake necklace for my mom for about $75.
Oh I'm actually sort of happy about that Abercrombie news because I've always really liked the fit of their jeans but haven't bought them for years because they've become so ridiculously expensive.
Abercrombie could probably save 9 million dollars per year simply by stopping their regular routine of pumping 23 billion gallons of cologne through their vents on a daily basis.
I feel like I would be too busy to really "focus" on whatever Gerber goodness I was consuming. I'd be too worried about the sucking sounds I'd be making by drinking food out of a snorkel and wondering if everyone else has one too or they're just watching me. Not to mention the risk of getting pureed peas and summer squash on my nice white outfit.

Yes, I am officially excited about the idea of a moon walker's glove.
