There are guys on the forum (Rye GB (now mostly absent), Fuuma, Rach, off the top of my head,) whose fashion memories are considerably longer than one cycle, and who tend to be less dogmatic about what brands and styles are "acceptable" than many members.
Also, why does everyone always have to come in with the Dolce (et. al.) hate? Talk about groupthink
what really bothers me is when people just list off the brand names in their outfits without even writing which item is which. I've seen good reactions to blank pictures and then when everyone asks the brands and it turns out they're the GAP or something everyone goes quiet, then someone justs lists off the brand names without identifying the item and everyone gives them props because it's obvious how expensive the getup is. At least name the item and then where it's from, sheesh.
I actually have nice Gucci stuff, and some pretty nice Prada shoes as well. I also have some really decent early John Varvatos stuff. There is actually a leather bracelet from the present collection that is really well made, and which I really like.
Yeah, you idiots need to stop trying to be different. Just be happy in your assimilation. It's like that scene at the end of The Matrix Revolutions, if any you saw it. BTW chrono which poll option should I choose?
SF is VERY different from the real life and the real world where we all actually live. Here, brand names are the **** - but only the right brand names. Armani Exchange, D&G, Gucci are all brands that have nice pieces, and in my community (Russian) people will fawn over an ugly Gucci shoe much more than a nice Alden shoe. Do I care? Of course not. But I could buy a nice Gucci shoe, and come to SF and people will **** on it just because it's not G&G or MA+ or whatever SF is into that week. Groupthink drives the brand whore/label love that is so prominent on this forum. For better or worse. This is how I see the Groupthink.
Speaking of... did you get my PM way back when? I found your Dries teal trench and a link to the whole season!
