Random fashion thoughts - Page 4867

SoCal was an early employee at GILT, and he left well before this stage. When he left, he told me "The problem with it is that it's a fashion company that is trying to be a tech company." I agree with that completely.

The problem with GILT thinking of itself as a tech company and acting like a tech company is that most tech execs have the fashion knowledge of a disabled sloth, and zero intuition of those things. You can't look at numbers and know whether something is going to do well or not. You can't read WWD and figure that out either, though that's a little better, because at very least, WWD reports on more than just the business side of fashion. You have to actually have knowledge of trends and a good understanding of your consumer on a gut level in addition to having a good business sense in order to make it work.

I gotta say sorta glad niners lost

Setting aside pursuit of wears and focusing on what the hell I am doing for my 4th annual Valentines. Think I might keep it classy this year two dozen long stemmed pink roses and surprise her with a beach candle light dinner. What I'm thinking is sweeping her off her feet as I carry her over the sand and we then enjoy dinner with the soothing sounds of waves breaking.....shiiiiiiiiit

Side note- never order flowers from an online site, got to local florist

will the roses be margiela?

Yeah but I wanted to surprise her, I guess I could take a sharpie and draw a 7 with a circle around it on each stem

I dig it

Walking to get my lunch today I was stopped by (presumably) an art school student who asked to take my picture, and the first thought that popped into my head was that I wished I was wearing something cooler.

 

It was only after she shoved her lens inches away from my face and took a few shots that I realized she probably wanted portraits of New Yorkers and for once it wasn't about my silly clothes.

 

I probably should get away from this site for a bit.

THANK YOU KoY
