these days, I mostly feel like one of these sporadically scattered tees, waiting but also trying to shirk from being picked at.
“I love a blouse that’s dumb, I love to use the word dumb. It’s not knowing, and the word blouse is so out of fashion that I love it—a blouse that’s dumb. And gabardine. That’s what people need to be wearing right now.
It’s more psychological. For people that don’t have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don’t want to analyze . . . those aren’t the people I romanticize about dressing.”

in light of Topshop being sued for blatantly plagarizing Chloe's designs (among others),
"street style is constantly copied by designers, so why shouldn't the street swipe it back?"
would be a good argument but then again
"If Forever 21 and H&M are forced to make their own designs, we'll start to really see mass fashion compete with runway fashion, because it will probably be just as innovative, exciting, and new.
And if mass chains need to hire good designers - not ones who copy the runway, but ones who challenge it - there will be far more jobs for incredibly talented kids without "parents who are real estate moguls"."
methinkst the line between runway and street has been outrageously crossed and blurred and with easy benefits for consumers the lack of impetus for infringement control it's completely impossible to spin it back in control - or back in a clearcut line..
but anyway i believe it's not what you wear but how you wear it.
&poor Topshop, it could be imitating Chloe, but streets of Bangkok and China are flippantly making copies of their designs all over streets bustling with foreigners too, and there's no one to sue.
