i'm not too worried about the line looking too adolescent. the go target consumer is 15-25 anyway.
and H&M right now is absolutely SWIMMING in pinafores with pockets, jumper dresses, babydoll dresses babyish looking stuff. i think a lot of retailers consider this a new silhouette and we will be seeing it everywhere for the next few years.
But isn't that what's hot on the "streets" for the common right now?
If none of us were here reading up on the new trends and wouldn't be informed on what's new and what's going on, we would think that what H&M, Target and Forever 21 is actually the hot thing right now, cause these silhouettes are being exploded and over exposed EVERYWHERE.
Its sad. They're catering to their customers and the customer that knows whats going on, will only buy certain pieces that can be incorporated in their closet. The money makers are those lame pieces that we look over but others will drool over for.


, just not on leggings and such
) and i probably would have loved this then, back when i was wearing little jackie o coats and mary janes...now, though, i find clothes like rompers and pinafores and jumpers almost infantilizing. i certainly can't go into a meeting with a producer and expect them to invest in a project when i look like a little girl, you know?
