The fashion industry needs to be exploited for what it is. I work for a copmany that shows in NY Fall Fashion Week (which takes place in a month) and that means working 10-15 hour days Monday through Friday, 9-10 on Saturday, and 4-6 on Sunday until it's over. Those hours are long, hard, and painful; some of us go way…

YES - this was the funniest thing I'd seen in a while. It was glorious.

I also want to add that I think becoming more self aware of how each character affects the lives of those around them is going to be a major theme this season. They are all very self-involved and I think by the end of the season, they will be at least slightly less so.

I see them all growing in small ways and at different speeds. Marni's mother's frustration in trying to explain that she's out of touch and Marni's clueless recitation of her check-list of what she thinks it means to have her shit together is the classic awkward communication where two people are having two separate…

IDK dude. Aside from the strange waist line that's very high in the front and low in the back (famously adds instant pooch to whatever body is wearing it, also used by preggo ladies), the print isn't so bad, especially with the top. I think actually it's the layer underneath the sheer floral skirt - a lining with a…

This thigh gap business is bonkers.

If you don't feel like paying a lot of money for that suit, I can try to make it custom for you. Lemme know.

Within the same show that is featured in the top photo, there were three dark skinned women and a Hispanic woman who walked twice for two separate looks. BCBG Runway It's not a great representation of the general population - or even of the population who works at the brand, I'm sure; which surprises me - usually this…

oh, yeah.. totally doesn't count because of the last five letters in Caucasian and all...

Lindy West,

I don't know... is it possible that some of the famous designers influencing the way we look at and interpret fashion in America today simply didn't grow up speaking English? When I speak other languages, I'm sure I make mistakes. Someone's common mistake must be to drop an 's'. Perhaps his/her confusion comes with…

I'm really glad you said all this - I had the same experience, too. I was in school for patternmaking, but we still had to draw/design and have fashion sketchbooks. The teachers stressed that the bodies had to look tall but realistic and organic, which means putting some meat and muscle on those elongated bones. But…

Thank you for the obligatory Lost reference.

IDK, this could actually be an oversight in Production. Pantone usually names the colors; at least where I work, they do. If they use a different supplier/manufacturer for their plus size garments (which usually requires an entirely separate pattern, anyway, as opposed to a size medium pattern that has been graded up…

I want you to know I just created an account so I could let you know how much I agree with you. Every girl is a mixture of "serious" and "non-serious" and telling people you can either be one or the other creates doubt about what they can accomplish which only adds more stress to the complicated process of figuring…
