hmmmm... can't decide if this is just 'vintage inspired' overpriced crap, or maybe it will be really cool. Anyways it will give me a reason to go into banana republic for the first time in 5 years! Also, why are these models so damn skinny? Get a real person to wear these so you know what it looks like on a full grown man, and a curvy real woman. Jeez. Maybe their sizes don't go above X-Small.

Especially ironic when you look back at the movie stars in the 50s. Waif-thin was not considered attractive back then. The advent of Twiggy Lawson-skinny models in 1966 changed the fashion world and the way many women with "real" figures feel about themselves. I'm not sure it was a change for the better.
ReplyDeleteI think they are so skinny because they spent all of their money on overpriced clothes from Banana Republic that they cannot afford to buy groceries. *hahahehe*
ReplyDeleteIf people want the Mad Men look they should go to a few thrift stores and put some actual vintage clothing items together to make a outfit. Its way cheaper and you can even afford some lunch after. =D
The one dress I liked was the one with pockets where the girl is fluffing it up with her hands. I think the men's stuff is pretty swanky though. I don't have pockets deep enough for BR but I'll keep on thrifting for the real things :-)
ReplyDeleteHello! I stumbled on this site & am loving it! Great job. So I'm going to jump on in & say I concur with all about the pathetic skeletel vision of designers when most of the population is NOT! But I have to say I'm LOVING this line. It is absolutely elegant & exciting and I would absolutely lose the extra lbs. I'm carrying around right now (which is way more than I should be packing!) to wear them & look great in them. Hm, this could be a goal! Thanks for showing this - and all the other great stuff on your site. ~Vickie in Calif~
ReplyDeleteBTW Keith, here is another blog site I think you might like. I enjoy it a lot - www.hepcatrestorations.com. It's not a business or selling site (although he does offer a few things he's ready to pass along) but a really fun and informational blog. Check it out if you're so inclined.
