t<\/strong>he right:<\/em><\/strong> more than just reflecting its time, fashion should react to it as well<\/em><\/p>\n

i went to the burberry outlet last sunday and find this little piece of gem sitting at the corner rag for us 50 bucks. gribbed! ran! paid! i wanted it back in spring ’06 thinking that this editorial piece would be on sales soon enough. well, didn’t happen in new york. but now, it’s like i’ve reconnected with a long lost friend.<\/p>\n

and then it hit me – what needed in fashion now is the fun, the crazies, and the\u00a0optimism. offering\u00a0practical clothes in subdued colors and with fewer flourishes is just short-term day trade speculation without regards for the long run. losing footings on what your company stand for and you are as good as dead. (well, unless you built your look on quick sands….) if your company is cash-trapped and won’t last through x’mas ’09, then you probably should’ve closed it last x’mas. i just don’t see any reason why a woman would want an ‘investment’ piece such as a gray wool coat when she has 3 pieces sitting in her closet. instead, lift her mode, made her smile, and strike her emotionally. only then, might she open her wallet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
