@Penny: yeah 299 doesn't seem so crazed to me. Mind you I personally wouldn't buy them, but I see boots all the time that run well over 100 so...? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@Penny: $299 — at H&M — is just against my nature. For God's sake, with a little creativity, you can find Manolos for well under $200! #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
If the MadMen line is selling at Brooks Brothers expect it to be crazy expensive. I've been in BB from time to time when looking for a simple black skirt/pants and that shit is bananas expensive. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@bluebears: I saw an ad for the Mad Men/Brooks Brothers suits, and I think they were around $900/$1000. I'm not sure how much Brooks Brothers normally charges, and that's definitely way more than I'd ever pay, but I don't think it's as crazy expensive as, say, an Armani suit. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@ytuhermanotambien: yeah I don't know about mens suit prices but the womens clothes at BB are just beyond expensive. They're basically more conservative version of the stuff at Banana or Ann Taylor but they are like 3 times the price.
Those Tom Ford quotes are priceless. I particularly enjoyed the quip about the bonzai trees taking a trip to the countryside each month for their necessary sun exposure. His dry, sarcastic wit makes me want to be close friends with him, or at least invite him to a fantasy dinner party. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
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.

Harlot! Those skirts are above the knee! This would not fly at my all-girls Catholic high school. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
