"We wanted our jeans to be natural, simple, and well-constructed," Darrin says. So, thankfully, there are no rhinestone apples or any other sort of decals found here. The Quintessential Series is the signature collection sold here, right now offering two styles of men's ($258) and two styles of women's ($238), which includes the "Quintessential Slim-Straight" for men and the "Quintessential Skinny" for women, designed in Vancouver and constructed in L.A.
Hey, if you're dumb enough to drop that kind of coin on jeans, who am I to stop you...
I may chuckle a bit...

More proof the fashion world is clueless
Ooooo, let's be edgy! Let's use Laxmi, no one will notice...
These are the same braindead types who think fur should make a comeback.
Images of the Hindu goddess of wealth displayed on swimwear at an Australian fashion show have sparked a legal battle in India.
The Allahabad High Court has issued notices to the Hindustan Times for publishing the photos that show female models wearing the swimwear.
Images of the goddess, Laxmi, were displayed on the garments.
The fashion show attracted worldwide media attention and was held in the Australian city of Sydney last week.
Pictures of the controversial swimwear were published in many newspapers, leading to protests in towns and cities across India.

The origin of the suit
...The suit still bears the marks of this turbulent past as well as the influence of Enlightenment thinking, sporting pursuits and a Regency dandy. In the year that may well mark the 150th anniversary of the suit it seems a shame that no celebrations were held in its honour.
The pattern was cut in the middle of the 17th century. To maintain an image of what is now called “austerity Britain” after a plague outbreak in 1665 and the Great Fire of London a year later, Charles II ordered his courtiers to dress in simple tunics, shirts and breeches. This was a profound reversal. Monarchs had long imposed sumptuary laws preventing hoi polloi from dressing too grandly. Forcing the elite to dress modestly suggested that power and place were no longer to be marked by yards of lace and frills.

Cambia Style: Idiots of the Day
Another brain dead group of fashionistas with Zero historical knowledge
"We need to be edgy darling!
What about Hilter?
Perfect!...Who is he again?"
Advertising agencies are starting to get a little silly with their provocative campaigns. A case in point: In Palermo, Sicily, the clothing line Cambia Style has unleashed a series of posters depicting Adolf Hitler in a pink uniform with a heart on his sleeve instead of a swastika – because they want to convey to young people the idea that they should form their own sense of style and not follow tyrannical fashion leaders.
Or moronic marketers.
Assholes

Toronto Fashion Week: Who cares if animals suffer as long as we look *fabulous*!
Disgusting display of complete unconcern for animal suffering from Toronto Fashion Week:
Fur is back in style at Fashion Week
Damn, kids, if this season ain't my season. IZMA kicked off Fashion Week on Sunday with armfuls of sustainable wild Canadian fur, and smooth expanses of sexy-ass leather to show off the animal awesomeness. It's a dangerous, super-sexy glamazon aesthetic that is often missing from Fashion Week, and I love it
But, but, the animals?
The world's finest furs - The NAFA Labels
Less that 5% of all the fur garments worldwide will be privileged to bear the NAFA Mink, Black NAFA, NAFA Fox or NAFA Northern labels. Expert senior technicians carefully hand grade each pelt, to examine it for imperfections and defects. Only the finest pelts can be awarded a NAFA quality label.
Oh well then...
Revolting. The "fashion" industry can go fuck themselves.

America plunged into the horror of "The Deep V""
"It's, like, another three inches and that's a vest, motherfucker."
I have to agree here, they are hideous.
Even the most clueless observer will have noted a disturbing new trend emerging among the male of the species these days: the deep V-neck T-shirt.

Emo
The first underground fashion trend of the 21st century (with roots in the 1980's) is popping into the media more and more...
Emo runs high as fans defend band [My Chemical Romance] against Daily Mail
The overwhelming majority of the crowd were young girls, bouncing with energy and shrieking with laughter as they rushed over to hug their friends or chanted: "Don't blame MCR!"
A few were dressed in typical dark, "emo" fashion but most followed the request of the organisers, who had written on the website: "Please consider dressing to suit the day ... Don't try to dress stereotypically." Many of the fans had homemade shirts with positive slogans such as, "Think happy thoughts."
