WUTS "IN STYLE" LOL


I always guffaw at girls who report that a certain article of clothing (purchased at their local mall, no less) is "so in this season." Yes of course it's "in" this season because every retailer that caters to middle America will
borrow (i.e. copy) cuts/palettes/patterns from fashion houses in order to sell the latest trend at an affordable price point.

Case in point: Leather leggings

Balenciaga Spring 2007 Ready-to-Wear
Balenciaga S/S RTW 2007
(www.style.com)
American Apparel version

Ever wonder why pleather leggings were suddenly available everywhere (curiously soon after Balenciaga's collection)? How did Forever 21 and American Apparel come up with such an imaginative idea? Does fashion really have such a hive mind? Pshhh...

I swear, it's as if these girls didn't pay attention to Miranda Priestly's enlightening lecture to little ole Andy in Devil Wears Prada. Tsk tsk.
