"I'm not into fashion; I prefer timeless style"
The Gawker article had everything, which is what made it annoying and funny at the same time. Like, it's true that someone could mistake the name as being a description of the goods, which is what makes it difficult to brush off the complaints. But it's also true that most of the people who would shop there are the type of people who probably know it's about the aesthetic.
Add to this every cliche fashion complaint ever. The article stirred up all the same stuff. "Why is this so expensive?" "Who would pay this kind of money to look poor?" "Who would wear this crazy thing?" "Do these people even work in their workwear?" Every article repeated the same hair-pulling, please-kill-me-now complaint, but there were so many of them that it ended up being almost kind of funny.

I purchased some things from Unionmade but I surmise that they must have had a ton of leftover stock. Their website, at least from my perspective, consisted of an obscene number of basics in various shades of indigo. Like, hundreds upon hundreds of indistinguishable, indigo, repro sweatshirts. As an online consumer, I found it near impossible to differentiate between their offerings (unless I had a frame of reference, i.e., another website).
I am nonetheless sad that they are gone.
when i watched zoolander in middle school, i thought the mugatu's latest collection inspired by the homeless was such a hilarious and outlandish satire
Do you have any in mind?
Merci isn't glamorous, wtf?Lane Crawford, Tokyo has a ton, Paris with Merci, Milan has a few. The US, nada.
