You want goodies? Shop UNIQLO. TopShop is a PR machine for wannabe designers who are really models approaching midlife. I can't stand to see common sportswear trotted down a runway as though it were fashion. Hype not worth the hype.

I know! But "Brit-it Girls Plus One Random American" is a bitch to type over and over :) Think of it as more like the British Fashion Week It-Girls.

I just saw the VW red label pics on style.com...and those "brit-it-girls" totally ruined the whole runway...what on earth was VW thinking?go to style.com and click on pic #46,see how Alice Dellal looks like a man stomping that runway and Daisy Lowe(#47) looking like a fatass widow...gosh...they make me sick!

Totally disapointed with topshops collection it was very confusing and what was with the models hair? Although i have to say i liked the oversized cardigans (glad to see they are here to stay, saw normal length fitted cardigans in Topshop yesterday and nearly had a fit).

agreed! I liked some of the knits and ideas but it was too literal and (I know this sounds so pretentious but...) isn't nu rave already dead? Everyone (incl. blogs and magazines) properly buried nu rave around early fall. I mean, everyone still loves neon here and there are an awesome missbehave-esque ensemble any day but it was all just too much and too little too late.

Also, brit it-girls = Br-it girls, have it.

also, in response to the "Balmain-inspired" sentiments, I don't think it's solely that everyone is ripping of Balmain (even though I'm sure this is most certainly true in some cases because it was so effing AWESOME) but if anyone hadn't noticed (rhetorical statement/question/whatever), everything is Ziggy Stardust/post-apocalyptic mid 80s coke-binge nightclub/-insert your own analogy here- so far this season, citing "Balmain" as a reference is probably going to get your point across in the quickest possible way.
