Agreed. The armor just makes the visuals more terrifying.

God bless you, tamani.green. God bless all tech designers. I shadowed one for a day and I thought the work was fascinating (plus I don't mind putting tech packs together) but I ultimately don't think I have the patience for the nitty-gritty that comes with being an associate or senior tech designer. All those codes...

Ralph Lauren also has no taste. All he does is copy, copy, copy. The company has a large vintage library, and he also rents from other vintage houses (then the team "forgets" that they're rentals, houses them in their library, and cuts swatches out of them, oopsie) and copies them seam to seam. If they like a piece's…

I know, right? It would be nice if they go the training to go along with the supplies

I don't really know enough about her to make a judgment but it is very clear that she actually works and puts in the legwork to make her company successful, and, as you pointed out, she has developed her own voice instead of merely copying, as most celebrities, let alone labels, do. It's not like Gwen Stefani (as much…

Just a reminder, there will be National Moments of Silence throughout the country today to honor victims of police brutality. There will be several in NYC alone, all starting at 7 PM: Union Sqaure, Bed Stuy, and Harlem. Here is a list of participating cities and Facebook pages for exact info: https://docs.google.com/do…

Imagine if all of the resources spent on this military materiel (either donated to the town by the Pentagon, which is what happens to "excess" supplies, or bought through federal funds) had been spent on education or otherwise alleviating poverty and racial injustice in the region.

Ah, lucky girl. I just graduated in May and took some internships to pass the time. Hoping I can get a real job soon.

Well, I'm sorry that it didn't work out. I have a friend like that now who wants to get into publishing. During his years in college, did he ever do any internships, or even get a summer job? Nope. He wants to go into publicity but he doesn't know how to use any social media. So. No work experience. No skills. He…

Good luck up there! I suspect you're in Toronto. I have friends there who have showed me the most beautiful things from local designers. So much talent in one city. :)

Think Bravo. She was also parodied on SNL. Sorry, I signed a confidentiality clause, although I'm sure it's expired, and it was mostly about not trashing the production company, which I could do for days. And yes, I would love to meet you and network, if that's okay. I'm NYC-based, worked in fashion production,…

Hmm, someone in the article yesterday said New Zealand had this law too. Clearly not. Thank you for the correction.

The brand name and the retail markup. Oh, and Kanye probably spent "hours" picking the perfect jersey. BAER. I'm sure they would have tried to charge more if they could have.

Me too. It enrages me that so many people go into our industry without any knowledge or training first. How can you talk to your pattern maker, your factory, etc. without knowing any technical terms? This is an industry, and as with any industry, there is a lot of training and technical jargon that one must know to be…

I hate to judge people on their professions, but I can't understand why such an intelligent, talented person like Christie Mack is hanging out with bottom feeders like a 3rd-rate MMA fighter and a "reality" star.

I laughed so hard at that person's made-up name. Bravo.

It was in Queensland, Australia and in New Zealand.

For a minute I thought you wrote, "He is a one man mediocrity" and I thought, "You're damn right."

I can't say that I especially care for the Kardashians or their style, but I must say that Khloe has always struck me as the most beautiful and natural looking. She is really stunning in this picture. (The other two look lovely too, just not as interesting as Khloe!)

Or write fan fiction.
