Did anyone else catch the following review of RL's new collection below:
Ralph Lauren tapped his vision of the American West, with a collection that included fringed deerskin jackets, silk georgette dresses and beaded skirts in a palette of neutrals and metallics. As if to illustrate the day to night adaptability of his looks, Mr Lauren paired a fringed beaded skirt with a plaid work shirt. His style captured the modern American woman’s jumbled-up approach to dressing.
REALLY? I am offended. I mean I have been known to wear things I have purchased at Mandees however a "jumbled up approach to dressing"?? C'mon, I think there is a challenge in here somewhere. I may have to begin wearing Brioni as his imagined muse is "a middle class woman, but with a dark side".
What do they expect - look what we have to work with...skinny jeans, jumpsuits...need I say more? The real problem is that fashion retailers target the WRONG market - they all go for the under 30 market. FYI, the fastest-growing segment of Facebook users is women over 55 and most online retailers still cater to the younger set. In fact, 65% of online apparel sales to to women over age 35.
I'm just sayin....
