I'm too busy laughing about the super ridiculous line of his today in WWD that magically (and, in fairness, probably inadvertently) reduced women to the level of pets to be placated with treats: “Next to chocolate or a rose, I think the only thing that can make a woman happy is maybe a pink dress."

Even if he meant to say "happier", it's still pretty WTF.

there are few things other than chocolate, roses and pink dresses that make me happy.

but i would not spend $330 for a denim bow tie when I can just make one myself for under $10 in under an hour.

Denim chambray (which is what that looks like to me) is around $4.50/yrd. And, yes, that would take about a 1/10 of a yard... It's basically a strip of fabric!

Since I know the $330 is not just covering production cost, I'm going to assume anything Alber touches has a 300 dollar price increase.

Bah ha ha ha...Alber is an amazing designer, but I think he is massively overly buying into his own hype. Just who does he think he's fooling with a stunt like this?
I don't know who deserves more mockery and derision - the Lanvin designer or the rich hipsters with more money than they know what to do with who'll buy this.
