I finally got to see the S/S 06 stuff in person after hearing all this bashing...and as tired as the continued bashing is going to sound (if you don't want to hear it don't read on), the stuff is REALLY getting worse. Maybe the collection's still early and the key pieces aren't here yet, maybe they've all been swept at the pre-orders, who knows. But what was available was crap...it's so lazy now, Barney's and Saks were full of those plain pocket tees, they're basically American Apparel t-shirts, same quality, thinness and every thing, except TEN times the price of an AA t-shirt. That really demands a WTF...the sweat shirts were so bad, the inside just feels rough and nasty. I saw that cob web top at the store and it was disappointing, i mean the idea of the construction is pretty interesting but the material (i think it was a cotton) just felt so cheap, as did the $455 striped cotton sweaters which is really on par with H&M stuff. Even last spring/summer I wouldn't have said all this about the clothes, even though it seemed fragile at least the construction appeared more delicate, this time it's really for suckers.
