I like products that are a little more flashy and eye-catching...How are people supposed to know what name brand you are wearing unless it clearly has the logo n e ways?
for me its the exact opposite.......i look for the name brand recognition. In my opinion if it is a name brand and is expensive it has good quality. I also do have some cheaper no name clothes, but i prefer to stick to the brand names.To me, the main point of buying something by a given designer is the quality of the design, not the name-brand recognition.
i rather someone say "he wears Versace" because it conveys an image of money and style.Ask yourself this: would you rather people who check you out conclude, "he looks great," or, "he wears Versace"?
Then there really is no point in buying Versace at all if ALL you want is the label. Just buy knock-offs and people will think it's Versace anyway. I'd rather have a good piece of clothing from an unknown label than a poorly made suit that has a nice label. Although I really do like the Versace medusa logo belts and my Gucci G watch just because I like the design. I also but prada shoes because I know that they last and can take a beating.i rather someone say "he wears Versace" because it conveys an image of money and style.
You can spend gobs of money on a big-name designer item and get poor quality. People here have noted, for example, that much of what is produced by Prada and Prada Group labels, or by Armani in the bridge lines, is not very well made. This is not to say that you might as well wear "no-name" clothes"”although some are as good as designer items selling for exponentially more"”but rather that you can get far better quality for the same money from designers who are not as well known. There are also some great things from Prada and Armani, but you have to shop for the item, rather than just the label, to find them.I look for the name brand recognition. In my opinion if it is a name brand and is expensive it has good quality. I also do have some cheaper no name clothes, but I prefer to stick to the brand names.

What I think is the most tacky is the logowear that makes fun of logowear, specifically the Dolce and Gabbana stuff ("I am wearing a FAKE Dolce and Gabbana Shirt", spray-painted "X" over D&G logo, etc.). Do people who wear this think it's clever? Well, it's not. And at $125 for a t-shirt, I think these sort of items do nothing except show the wearer's lack of both originality and taste.

Don't get me wrong here. I think the shirts are funny and it's nice that D&G has a sense of humor, but those who actually wear these shirts thinking they're 'fashionable' are rather pathetic.I sort of like those, although I prefer that the joke be just a tad more sophisticated (such as the Stussy riffs on the Louis Vuitton logo). I have to agree, though, that, at $125 a tee-shirt, the joke is on the guy who bought it.
