There is this interesting dichotomy between the buyers self-professed looking for ''something special'' and their apparent approval of Gucci, which in my opinion offers no special value. I would just like to know specifically what is special today. Is it a palm-printed jersey sundress? Or satin cargo capris?
I could understand if they would just admit that today's customer, for the most part, wants something understandable, easy, uncomplicated, in her immediate pool of reference points. In this instance, I can understand Balmain's popularity because it is obvious, but many of the pieces are also worked to hell. Gucci just seems so... attainable for much cheaper prices elsewhere.
