Well, let's get crucial:
Top-tier designers routinely knock off small, independent, and no-name designers, who themselves are basically just taking inspiration from and making clothing for their artfag friends and outlandish, nothing-to-lose acquaintances, who are basically the people that get made fun of for not taking a shower or being "hideous" or whatever.
The whole idea of there being a trickle-down from a top tier to the next lower—in one direction—is an illusion. The truth is that it's a cycle, with certain parts of the cycle hidden. The poor, eccentric, street kids are essentially reacting to their own idea of what's going on in high fashion or in passé music or passé film, reinterpreting it as their means allow. Those reinterpretations are cycled "upward" through independent designers and then to "top-tier" designers. Part of the cycle that's the most visible is the movement of trends from high fashion to the mainstream. Because it is so blatant, it's easier to spot and consequently easier to blog about.
So give the Fashionista gurls a break. It's like you people have never heard of serialized journalism.

By the time Tavi has to start applying for colleges, she won't NEED the Ivy League. She's smarter and more perspicacious than most college grads as it is.

Entry: Would You Wear a Total Look?

God, this is so insane.
Of COURSE you can wear an entire look. You can do whatever you want. Wearing a total look is perfectly acceptable way to honor a designer's vision. If that's the only way you ever wear those pieces, then that's up to you. You can integrate them, split them up, wipe your ass with them, whatever. Magazines and stylists love to talk in absolutes and hand down arbitrary rules, but no one need follow them. You can "mix it up" or "pair it with a vintage belt" or have it "set off a berry lip and shit-stained eyeshadow," and it can still look "studied." And even if it IS studied, you've paid for pieces; or hell, even if they've been given to you—they're yours to do with what you want.
And let's be honest, this total look is stronger and smarter than 90% of what Madonna's been wearing lately.

"Chère" could work, no? "Une veste chère" ou "Moncler—une marque chère."
