Brands: Show them or Keep them?

I can understand the *want* to show off your designer labels.

But I got some sense knocked into me, I knew it was completely useless and pathetic :P .

I search for independent, beautifully made items now only.

Yes, huge logos are incredibly tacky.

There is something quite wrong about big logos on clothes. Why do we, the consumers, pay a company to advertise for that company? Sigh. If anything, companies should be paying us to do that. (Not that I would, nor do I necessarily like that possibility.) I know there is so much that goes into it; sometimes I just wish that people would be more conscious consumers and think about the implications of outfitting oneself in logo-wear.

On another note, does anyone remember the big rage of Calvin Klein and Gap logo t-shirts and sweaters from several years ago? Goodness gracious...
 
^ That's very true.

I have to say that if I buy something from a not-so-classy label, I sometimes cut out the brand...I don't pretend they are from somewhere else, I just don't want people to know I bought them there...If anybody can understand anything about what I'm trying to say...
 
i don't like showing logos so better keep them.
if you wear logo one piece should be maximum! (for example a bag with visible logo). if it has to be, one piece is alright, more is just tacky and wanna-be :lol:
 
i think those in ur face logos are a bit tacky....dont really buy the whole idea. the most annoying thing right now is seeing someone with say a bag from a known designer and thier outfits just WRONG and they feel oh well my bag is expensive stuff everything else.. it even begins to look cheap n fake

Errrrmm.... old tfs-ers know my opinion about "flashionistas"


:lol:...





haha....flashionistas...

:woot:...:clap:
 
I think footballer's wives are the worst culprits for this. Steven Gerrard's girlfriend in particular.
 
lol couldn't agree w\ u more ..
pathetic, like we totally got it, u can freakin afford it!! n then what.. ?
they don't get that it doesn't certainly mean that u have great taste, or u'r a major fashionista! :P
the prob is guys are doin it now :\
like ooh look at me im wearing an armani shirt and prada shoes, ooh im so stylish w ma79lt :P
okay we got it buddy, keep on movin :P
but hey, if the logo is there, it's there what can i do? i mean i don't get to throw the LV bag or the chanel glasses just bcz the logo is all over it, it totally fits, i never buy anything just b\c it's from a high-end brand or is trendy, it HAS to suit me, my taste and most important my figure..
and as u said, i could buy a 50 cent necklas and wear it w\ a cavalli dress, it's all about how it looks not by whom
 
thank you ultra for coining such a fabulous term!

:lol:

i hate being a walking advertisement and echo the sentiments of many here.
 
I hate to admit that I used to wear some logo t shirts and hoodies when I was in middle school and high school...:blush: but now that i'm outta there I have found it much more interesting and satisfactory to be able to purchase unique and tasteful items that don't show the logo..or at least REALLY obviously. I think the 'showing how you're branded' is a phase for some people..especially when you start developing a knowledge for fashion and different designers..but after awhile..you'll learn that wearing a tshirt that says DIOR is just plain tacky and nothing to be proud of (for me)

I still have items that show the logo ( Dior necklace, Gucci sunglasses..) but as long as it's discreet and you don't end up looking like a walking billboard...is fine.

Done tastefully, subtle 'logos' won't appear trashy..IMOP:flower:
