what's the point of doing a diffusion line if the original doesn't even cost that much to begin with?...

edit: agh nevermind, i misread the title and thought this was a diffusion line of sienna miller's label twenty8twelve

some of the stuff looks cute. Why isnt any store in SF selling this line? Seriously, "lets just cram everything in LA"...dont they know SF is fashion forward too :/

their website always makes their clothes look bad. I'll have to check this out in person but it has potential. And it looks like things are, with the exceptions of the coats, priced at no more than 10 bucks more than the regular Forever 21 stuff

I went to F21 today to check this out. I actually assumed they hadn't put it out yet but it was right in the front of the store. I got this coat (it's very heavy) and the long cardigan in black and rust. Some of the stuff was definitely F21-quality, but some stuff was nicer. The cardigans are 51% silk and they had some sweaters with a tiny bit of cashmere.

Forever 21.

....Meaning that's how big your waist must be to fit their clothes.

i think some of the stuff is okay, but its not anything different from the regular f21. i want a cashmere mixed sweater and a few dresses for school (they remind me of rachel pally) but everything i put in my cart was sold out! agh.

 

[theleatherette]

im on the site now and some of the stuff is actually ok. Im not surprised they are doing a higher end line. their prices have slowly been rising since they opened.

I wonder how many young children they employed in sweatshops for this venture?

 

[Fabulyss]

Oh please! If you think Forever 21 should be singled out for this practice you're mistaken http://www.nosweat.org.uk/node/256

I love Forever 21. We don't have Zara or H&M here and I'm a poor university student, so it's definitely where I get a lot of my clothes. And, I kind of like "the hunt."

I think the line looks nice, but they're not selling any of it at the Phoenix stores, so I don't I'll get anything. I couldn't imagine ordering clothes online from them.

 

[lucy92]

i agree that ordering clothes from forever 21 online can be a pain.
i just order everything in medium and hope for the best.
what sucks is that you cant return clothes that you buy online in person at the store (something i love about target)

 

[salomelovesjohn]

I'm just now seeing this...and most of the stuff I want is gone. I might have to go out to Fair Oaks, VA. Um....

 

[fashionispoison]

i saw this gold dress that was really cute on the display window didn't have time to go in though

 

[jaimediane71]

I received my Twelve by Twelve merchandise yesterday. I'm content with the order. It's nothing spectacular and the wrap sweater dress is too short for me to wear as a dress (even though I ordered one size up). But the sweaters look and feel of better quality than most other Forever 21 stuff.

 

[markie]

I wonder who they stole the designs from.

yeah i also ordered a sweater/dress and it was too short to be worn as a dress but oh well i like it as an oversized sweater. and i agree, it is better quality than the regular f21 stuff.
