Fine for consumption, but unexciting stylewise, IMO. <BR/>Shredz: It's all very well for the brands to be coming in, but I don't know how much of a (positive) change it's going to make to how people wear things. I'd personally be more excited if I heard TopShop was opening up here, but that's just me I guess.<BR/>ENC: It's from her own line, I do hope she doesn't dilute her vision too much with the new line..<BR/>Evie: I know! Sometimes I wonder just how they get away with such terrible cuts and nondescrepit work, but I'm not really of a school of thought that believes in 'supporting' anyone's work without loving it first. One can't, as a consumer, be expected to think of it as an obligation. This is something I could really go off on, but I'll shut up now..in any case, at least Aimee's line will probably have no logos. And hopefully, no excessive embellishment either..<BR/>Susie: The cutting skills are what have me hopeful for this line..<BR/>Riz: I don't mind Eurocentric, but I do mind aesthetically unappealing- the shoots are really rather unimaginative, but at least there are articles...it could be worse..<BR/>It is what it is: I have, I think...NY Fashion Week last season, right?Blue Floppy Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924517166595597734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-81620762451721113872008-02-17T19:14:00.000-08:002008-02-17T19:14:00.000-08:00HAVE YOU HEARD OF RAD HOURANIHAVE YOU HEARD OF RAD HOURANIIT IS WHAT IT IShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548970802170145377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-78826274346937767642008-02-14T22:59:00.000-08:002008-02-14T22:59:00.000-08:00Ugghhh, i completely share your opinion of Vogue I...Ugghhh, i completely share your opinion of Vogue India. I can't believe their covers.

The luxury brand market had sky-rocketed in the last year. Suddenly we have Chanel, Gucci and Vuitton, with Ralph Lauren and YSL opening up some time this year!<BR/><BR/><3Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599975771494318786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999120180171025160.post-74557144627651544082008-02-12T16:17:00.000-08:002008-02-12T16:17:00.000-08:00I completely understand your predicament.

The only change in fashion consciousness when these brands moved in is the preponderance of Coach shoulder bags on every girl over 17(how many are real is another question-when the Brands come, the counterfeits aren't far behind). I wish we would attract at least a small amount of innovative or younger designers but sunburned cruise ship tourists don't seem to have much taste for even a Posen. Good Luck! For now I'll stick to my seamstress at home.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922885939935952860noreply@blogger.com
