I have 2 banes to my current fashion existence, which is good because it used to be twenty (see the period in the mid 2000's when I was forced to look at camel toe everyday thanks to the phenom called "gauchos"). I am always in a pull between what I dislike just cause it's too popular, and what I dislike because quite frankly, it sucks.
My 2 banes are things that actually suck, and what makes that suck more is that they are popular. I am utterly disgusted with these two things, and wouldn't go to heaven sad if I never saw them again: Tory Burch anything and Michael Kors accessories.
The biggest thing I dislike applies to both: the obnoxious branding. Why on earth would you walk around with someone's initials all over your clothing that you paid for? This is how I feel about every label with one huge exception:
She has not, will not, and can not do any wrong, so in her case there is no need to EVER NOT want to wear her initials all over me! Lol.
With that said, why would you want to stick something on your body that looks like it was branded with head butting T's or with the lazily placed MK initials that "cleverly" share a line that makes it no longer initials but a logo.
I haven't like Michael Kors since I stopped being five and realized that zebra print is never going to be cool longer than five minutes, and that in the event that it is considered cool at any point in time, it no longer is. Zebra belongs few and far between, heavily dispersed in a sea of other patterns, shapes, and colors. Once you see it too much, it loses its beauty and becomes monochromatic and humdrum. Bleh. That being said, I loved his concept back in Spring 07 or 08 when his RTW (ready to wear) collection featured that beautiful rich pattern in hues of jet black, golden browns, and creamy beiges. Then something went terribly wrong. Then his logo grew by 8 fold and now dangles on the edge of the purse, waiting to swing and hit you hard in your elbow as you walk. At this point, all was lost. I also don't like the fact that he is on project runway because he really has no idea what he's talking about...ever. His collections are meant for the "sporty" fashionista, and these people are turning out haute couture. Why on earth should he ever have a word to say?
Tory, incites my rage in another way all together. It's not that I don't think she knows what she's doing, I think that her clothing line has some potential. It's the fact that people are walking around in ballet flats (which have FINALLY run thier course, leaving people with cankels with no excuse to continue to make this fashion mistake), which come in the most obnoxious of colors, which they INSIST on pairing with either a similarity obnoxious colored shirt, belt, or various other non simple, competing clothing, and then have the audacity to look this awfully while having paid nearly $200.00 for it! Listen, wearing neon green shoes is great, but please do find a nice pair of light wash denim that is close cropped at the ankle and a plain white button down shirt or polo. And if you really must express yourself, try a color opposite on the color wheel. Lime green goes great with bright pink for a reason people!
Anyway, so that's yet another reason for America to hate me. I feel like if you're going to play the fashion game, you have got to know the rules. I hope that these two figure out how to stop the bandwagoning of their aweful products before they go the way of Juicy (which I disliked from the get go, and still do) and that aweful Ed Hardy stuff.
