Hey, why do they call it a "hype cycle"? Is it cyclical or something? Hmm...

But toggle shawl necks, they're the way to go. Should get through F/W 2010.

Blasphemy. TF has come around from the backlash into the hype now that B&S is not saturated with it.

TF has a good ways to go before a backlash.

Obvious backlashes are toggles, elbow patches, and shawls. No backlash yet on contrast shoelaces, but there should be.

It's so hard to tell these days whether or not new members' posts are just old members trolling.

Define "new member" versus "old member." I've been lurking here for 5+ years. And isn't the premise of this whole thread sort of trolling?

No wonder, with manton, vox, gdl and edmorel amongst her customers. That's like a 100,000 SF posts all combined.

I just hope she doesn't screw up a single detail on a single jacket, else the backlash is going to be legendary.
