The constantly changing world of fashion- changing to suposedly create a desire for new and different things, so sales stay up and profits increase.
What amazes me is that some of the crap actually sells- its horrendous, flattering to no one, and designed to be overpriced, pointless junk that will be out of date after you've worn it once.
Take this little piece for example:
The aptly named "ditzy floral bolero" by bebe Sydney. With a print that looks somewhat like you just had all you can eat Pizza hut, including a hefty serving of soft serve from the dessert bar, and promptly threw it up all over yourself, this item offers no shape, and seemingly no function- being neither a shirt or a jacket. Top points for making this tiny thin model look fat too.
Another item in the aforementioned designers' collection is this stunning garment:
What we can observe here is that fashion has no boundaries- who would have thought of chopping up Nanna's old table cloth, and pairing it with the fringing off her lamp shade? If you are stupid enough to pay money for this item, I highly recommend operating heavy machinery - preferably with moving parts- while wearing it.
The following frock is presented by Jota & Ge:
Denim... a modern classic. Just a tip though- you're doing it wrong. How much for this semi casual catastrophe you say? A mere $375- I kid you not.
If you have $375 and choose to spend it on this, do not pass go- do not collect $200, head straight to the nearest hospital and donate your organs to someone worthy.
Backwards to a Foreword
I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.
All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.
They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.
