H&M watches the runways like a hawk and releases a version of anything that appears across several shows. If epaulettes are big, you better believe everything in H&M is going to have some epaulettes on it.

Forever 21 watches the runways like a hawk and then takes it straight to their stores. They're like the institutionalized version of those Hong Kong fakes.

now do zara!!!

I don't know much about Zara, or Express (which seem so goddamn similar to me), except that they seem to be missing stylistic direction. It's like guido clubwear that occassionally borrows things from the runway that they think will sell to guidos. This is what I have gleaned from spending a few minutes in each store before I decided that I hated everything and left.

What do you mean by this?

Meaning H&M does designer collabs and generally has a healthy relationship with the fashion industry, whereas Forever 21 is fairly universally reviled.

I see. That store is inside one of the local malls, but I never dared to step foot in there. The way the store is designed looks ultra feminine and girly, so I always thought they only made junk for women exclusively.

The reason why Forever 21 is hated in the industry goes far, far deeper than the fact that they copy designers.

I never said it stopped there. I'm not truly on the inside of the fashion industry, so I couldn't say for sure, I was just sharing my observations about the label.

i'm trying to convince my gf to do the same, but she thinks she's too tall in heals compared to me although she's 3 inches shorter boooo

Asians were pretty well dressed at one point, but now they all gave up and just started dressing like the euro-trash club crowd with true religion and such, that or a wardrobe entirely comprised of H&M.

Same here, something about those Uggs just draws girls in. As much as it pained me, I ended up buying my girl a new pair a couple weeks ago because she was dying for some.

Cute dog, my girl has a dog that looks almost identical, but with black patches, not brown, and she loves putting him in the same weird poses.
