Eating disorder, tanning club card, and giant hippie dress optional.
Oooogh. I know this was written with the best of intentions, but no matter how annoying Rachel Zoe may be, and no matter how ubiquitous her godawful shapeless-tent-dress / tattered-blonde-extensions / handbag-the-size-of -a-Jetta / dinnerplate-sized- sunglasses/ dayglow-tangerine-complexion, and the fact that everyone in Hollywood has worn this since like 2003 and I can't tell anyone apart anymore, I just don't feel comfortable trying to deduce whether or not she has an eating disorder.
"Which might be true, or it might be her trying to stay on both companies' good sides after pledging separately to each to wear its clothes and screwing that up royally."
Yep. This.
"How much you want to bet pissed reps for both labels are poring over photos trying to tell their lapel notches from the competitor's as we speak?"
@sportz.star: Wasnt there a Rag Trade awhile back that mentioned J.Crew "going back to basics" and lowering their prices a bit? I swear I remember that and yet, their new season is still full of 100 dollar cotton cardigans. It was ridiculous being in their stores and seeing their sale stuff marked down about 70 percent and the new line sitting there, full price. I can't imagin that will last for long.
@LaFemme: I admittedly love J.Crew clothes, but will not shop only sale -- and usually only final sale, because they've lost their minds. I remember the reference to back to basics, but think it manifested in more plain, less printed, cashmere.
I hope at the next award show we find out that the skirt of some starlet's dress was actually a Chanel and the bodice a YSL, put together by a stylist seeking maximum exposure.
If Mickey Drexler really feels this way, that the days of ridiculous markups on clothing are over, then why did I go into J.Crew last week and see a t-shirt for about 50 bucks?
@bluebears: I was just going to say. I covet the J.Crew shoes collection - but I'm waiting for the day that $300 heels are over.
BTW, if you want to see the ridiculous of their mark-ups, go to their outlets. I bought espadrilles for $26 down from $118, tanks for $8 a piece, and a cashmere shell for $35.
I don't even understand why Candie's is bothering with an anti-TeenSex campaign. Don't they know those don't work? How about a pro-SafeSex campaign aimed at teens? Oh, whatever. I miss Singled Out era Jenny McCarthy.
