true .... to an extent.
if you are t alking about a trained designer who went thro formal training or some informal training ....at least some form of hands on experience in design.
somehow i dont think these two kids have any of these qualities other than shopping and dressing up ......... as stylists ......[ are they even that i wonder..?] i suspect their experiences in life and wat they have seen or not seen and lived or not lived is an important determining factor in their fashion "sense ".......
yes this thread is about a fashion - and its an objective task to like or nont like the clothes BUT also as a fashion thread we must also provide an insight on the background and history of the designer ..... that IMO is an important angle for fashion commentators ..otherwise we can just all go to Topshop or HM where there is no need to have a "name " ie nameless /faceless fashion ....as oppose to a personality ...i wld say ditto to people like LAMB /pdidddy/et al.
lets face it this is yet another attempt by these kids to milk their franchise ..which is very clever indeed .......BUT dont make it sound that they are fashion designers - theyy are not ...that would be an insult to those who spent years toiling for their craft.
You're forgetting something. They aren't working alone on this. They are working with a friend who has studied fashion for some number of years also.
Why is it an insult? Why? Are they taking away work from Galliano? Are they sneaking up to McQueen's house at night and flinging The Row in his face and saying 'EAT IT b*tch!'? They're not doing a runway presentation and flaunting their work in the way some 'designers' (who do have training but don't produce anything of interest and sometimes poor quality) are doing. This line isn't 'ambitious', it's simple, produced in very small quantities at HIGH quality and is made to last. As far as I'm concerned, why does that mean you have to have studied fashion for 20, 30 years?
This whole attitude is so elitist and it makes me sick. I can somewhat understand the hatred because of all the celebrity collections out there but they are 100% involved in this.
Is the problem that you're envious? I don't see any other reason to get so emotionally involved. You don't like the price? Then don't buy it. The reason the price is like that is because of the materials, the quality and the limited stock. This isn't going on sale across the country in every target.
I don't know...I just think it's a really childish attitude to point at somebody and say "They haven't done 6 years at fashion school and 6 years interning OH! and they're already famous how dare they say the sacred word 'Design'?"
Just look at this line and see if you find it pretentious or deserving of this scorn. Is it trying to be something it shouldn't be? Should it not exist? If you really look rationally I think you'll find the answer is no...
But if you do find the answer is yes it shouldn't be because of who they are. At all.
) and the white TANK was $150. I bought all of them at Maxfield in LA but they are available at Barneys too. Maybe you can call Barneys and ask if they have them, and if not ask if they know where they have sold too.
I love the line but I have to agree with what you said bearbrick...
