Feeling Minimal?

1. Erin Wasson just had garage sale of her clothes because she wanted to be free of all her stuff, and adopt a more “utilitarian” style.

2. Kenzo’s auctioning off a bunch of his art a la YSL and Versace because he wants to live “more free, lighter”.

3. The over-the-top feel of the 80’s runways have made everyone groan “ew” and mourn the days when sequins, shoulder pads and mini-skirts weren’t all on the same runway.

4. This was all preceded by the death of the It bag, over and over.

So does this mean everybody’s over the 80’s before the re-runs have even hit the racks, and are going back to the times of simple lines and uncomplicated pieces (also known as a big part of the 90’s) already?

Are you feeling like you’re over too much fuss in your fashion (and life)? Or are some people just selling their stuff for the cash, and not necessarily for the free closet space?

We Wish It Was A Joke

1. If any designer’s making roller skates - shouldn’t it be Heatherette?

2. That new business plan - the one where he refrains from sticking his name and logo on everything in order to re-establish himself as a luxury instead of mass market brand - was introduced less than six months ago. So has it not started yet or did they just ditch the idea?

3. Why don’t they come collaged with pictures of David Beckham rocking his Armani briefs?

4. Does Giorgio himself roller skate through the streets of Milan? Because we would LOVE to see that.

5. Who, exactly, is the target consumer for this $425 product? We’re dying to know.
