Overpriced vintage boutiques on New York’s Lower East Side prompt an inevitable rant. Fugly rayon dresses priced at $75 and up? Get the fuck out of my city. …keep reading Rants: Lower East Side Vintage 
Zac Posen for Target exemplifies the worst of designer fast fashion lines. Heinousness abounds, and the tuxedo bodysuit is its most criminal offense. …keep reading Zac Posen for Target All Kinds of Ick 
Mmkay, it’s been weeks since the launch of Commes des Garcons x The Beatles, so maybe this isn’t the most timely of reactions. Whatever. I’m not throwing in my nine cents now to bitch about Commes des PouPou’s elitist perversion of the best band ever. That would be stating the obvious. …keep reading Anti-Leather, Anti-Health: Commes des Garcons, The Beatles, and PVC 
Target announced an upcoming collabs with Zac Posen today, and everyone’s flipping their respective nuts. This bean-spillage on behalf of the big box is a highly strategic move: It’s almost enough to distract me from the ‘collection’ slated to launch in a few weeks. Almost. I read somewhere that Rodarte

Is it just me, or does the “limited edition” (oooh, now I’m intrigued) FitFlop Anna Sui Shakoha Boot look like it’s been beaten with an ugly stick? It’s like a moccasin and a sneaker got together, ate some fur, and collectively shit out a studded star. I don’t care if the …keep reading The FitFlop Anna Sui MoccaPoo 
Before discussing the individual offerings of Jimmy Choo for H&M, I’m going to attempt to rationalize the pricing scheme behind the line. The designer from whence said line comes is Tamara Mellon, the brand’s founder and president. Her Wikipedia page bears the cautionary warning: This article or section reads like a news

Fast fashion merch is made quickly and cheaply, and pitched to we-the-consumers as a means to a material fix that won’t break our respective banks. This is, of course, horseshit. If fast fashion were about consumer convenience and accessibility, H&M’s How-To Guide for shopping the store tomorrow – Jimmy

I delete most press releases as a general rule, mostly because things like celebutard-endorsed neon eyelash glitter. Alas, even the most asinine of hot new products deserve some time in the limelight. Why? So we can laugh at them. Duh. The Chuckle of the Day award heretofore goes to Saryn – yesterday, she emailed …keep reading Stupid Things in Style: The Demi Cami Muhahaha. I’ve been stewing over Kate Moss for Topshop’s Oriental Kimono (non-PC alert) ever since The Cut reported its No Longer In Stock status. …keep reading An Alternative to the Kate Moss for Topshop Kimono Dress 
Stiletto boots seen on the runway don’t sell so well in stores, if Century 21 is any indication. Overpriced, impractical designer boots to avoid. …keep reading Runway No Way: Stiletto Boots 
Now lookee here, I’m all about beauteous designer shoes – they’re pretty, I like to look at them. I appreciate the craftsmanship that undoubtedly substantiates their $1000 price tags. I’m just not about to pay for it, and neither are you, and that’s precisely why Jimmy Choo for H&M and Pierre Hardy
…keep reading Stupid Things in Style: Fast Fashion Footwear It’s Monday, and I’m nursing a hangover of the worst kind: A destination wedding hangover. The festivities were glorious; the drive to and from Vermont was not. My body’s still vibrating. I look and feel about as alive as a mutilated squirrel. 
I’ve been known to take issue with Marc Jacobs’s warped view of a woman’s body. These shorts exemplify my position. …keep reading Marc Jacobs Concocts Fugliest Shorts EVER 
I’ve been known to rag on American Apparel for their price points, so the following may or may not make me a serious hypocrite. Whatevs. Last week, I hit the store with the intent of purchasing a replacement Ruched Front Tube Bra, as my current one’s been worn to the point of elasticity loss. 
Let’s talk about the power of buzz, specifically its ability to amp up subpar designer collabs as all kinds of awesome. Charlotte Ronson might very well be a cool chick, but a designer’s ability to surround herself with stylish celebutards doesn’t necessarily mean she knows jack about making clothes. To be fair, …keep reading Why Heart Ronson? I’m Confused. 
From the overwhelmingly pretentious promotional video …keep reading Hussein Chayalan Makes J Brands Even Pricier
