Fashion Is Fun

Battle of the Bombers

battle of the bombers.jpgAt left we have two examples of brilliant, not-recession friendly pieces of fall fashion: the bomber jacket.

On the far left, the classic’s perfected by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. On the right, Christopher Kane comes pretty damn close. Both retail for almost four months worth of rent for a decent New York City room, two tickets around the world, or a Vespa.

Over at T, Anne Christensen favors the Rodarte. While the bondage-wrapped Rodarte makes us weep, the Christopher Kane one is slightly less on-trend and saves you a few dollars for the peanut butter & jelly you’ll have to eat for a year.

If we’re playing fall fantasy wardrobe, we’d throw the Rodarte jacket over this Chris Kane dress. In yours?

The Rodarte is beautiful, but the knit portion looks like it would get pilled really quickly - it doesn't seem like a wise investment.

She said NYC ROOM people, not apartment. Clearly she's referring to an apartment share. The only way you'll get a studio in Manhattan for $800ish is if you live in nosebleed, upper Manhattan. Even higher than Harlem!
