you guys need to venture outside of Soho and shoot real new yorkers...not tourists or fresh transplants...head uptown..maybe even an outer borough while you're at it.
All these Soho people are so...how do you say...forced. I don't see FASHION when I look at their pictures. I see tourist or wannabe hipster trying to dress how they feel NYers dress.

The answer is pretty obvious:
1. Women like to see ads which feature other women because they would love to have the life the women in the ads are having. So they want the shoe, the bag, etc. that the ad is promoting because they want that life.
2. Women want to see men in fashion magazines because most women are attracted to men. They want to see handsome men in ads so that they can pretend that they are with them or can have them
3. Men magazines don't have too many women ads because the female models used in most fashion ads are not consider sexy to the average male. The women are oddly dressed, stick figures. So the ads in a male mag will obviously feature good looking men so that the men can then fantasize about being the dude in the cool ad.
Sidenote: If you read Maxim you will see A LOT of ads featuring scantily clad women because that's what men want to see in their magazines...not skinny Lily.

She looks like Olivia Wilde...facially. I love her hair! But this look is truly disgusting.

I get what she's going for..and I do like it but I don't think it comes across very well in the picture. It probably looks much better in person.

Honestly, if these designers did not charge 70%-80% more than what it actually cost them to make each item, why should we really care about their "art"? I understand the revenue is suppose to cover the cost of their creation but that is not what the price tag shows. It shows that they are covering all cost but also trying to attain a VERY LARGE profit. I have no desire to help companies continuously rape us financially because of greed.
Some people aren't proficient in economics but there's a concept in economics that has to do with consumers: inferior and normal goods. Inferior goods are goods that when a person's income increases then their demand for that good decreases, most likely because they can afford better quality items and are able to live to a higher standard. Forever 21 clothing are usually considered inferior goods. A normal good is a good that when a person's income increases, their demand for that good also increases. Prada is usually considered a normal good.
Some of you are wondering why the hell I explained that. Well, when people buy the lower quality good and all other conditions remain the same, it DOES NOT affect the amount of higher quality goods sold. People who don't have the income to buy the normal good (the expensive, better quality item) are going to buy the inferior good, no matter what! The people with the $ are most likely going to buy the expensive good!
So basically, knockoffs really don't matter. (Random Sidenote: Even if it did matter, the fashion house's insane profits should make up for whatever $ they lose because of a knock-off.)
