I don't think the structure of the forum lends itself to 'the charm of ugliness'. If some guy asks for HALP FIRST TIME HERE STYLE ADVICE PLEASE no way I'm gonna recommend Wallies, old school Cox creepers, paisley scarves, etc. even though I like them.

And of course most of the clothes we buy are going to look unbearably ugly in a couple years, why try to speed up the process?

In a sense, it's really not surprising that they haven't been profitable all this time. Back when they were actually selling discounted surplus, their margins couldn't have been much at all. Add to that all the referrals they forked over (even if just credited as part of their marketing/advertising budget) and it's even tighter.

But they've definitely changed since they started out. I got onto Gilt for the first time in months and was surprised to see it more of a discount store than the "limited time, limited stock" approach, especially since brands started making stock specifically for them.

Hopefully it doesn't turn out to yet another outlet retail experience.

I'm not actually sure, it was in Tommy Ton's street style. I saw another picture later though and it turns out it has patent leather shoulders

Tween, saw those too, they're sick

I cant ******* stand Blackbirds posts about Rick Owens on their blog. Its like they discovered it for the first time even though he's been around for years. The asskissing and snobbery in the posts about Rick make me want to vomit.

Just checked out all the Givenchy offerings on Mr. Porter. Not a brand that was really on my radar, but I want all of it. Crucifix sweater is dope.

Yuuuup. I remember the first time I went through that thread, the fact that everything is sz1 / 44 saved my wallet pretty hard. It's a pretty good garment archive in and of itself, particularly for Dior Homme stuff.

Can someone explain this **** to me?

Do not tumble dry. Wash inside out. Dry immediately after washing.

In what? The microwave?

Yes, it does work very well for me and it lasts all day. Fortunately, I do not sweat heavily underneath the arms like some guys do. For me, the best feature of the crystal deodorant is the fact that it does not cause yellow stains on my dress shirts so I can wear A-shirts without being concerned about stains.
