(no subject)
I just heard about this, so excuse me if it's slightly old news. I haven't been as on top of my fashion knowledge recently as I have been in the past. I blame Korea. (That sounds weird, but only because I've been focusing more on Korean fashion as of late)
So anyway, may I present the Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace
Okay, sure, I'm ALL for haute couture. Seriously, I love editorial stuff. It's not meant for real life, we all know that.
And sure, I do really quite dislike generic Louis Vuitton stuff (SO overdone, to the point where it's tacky, and reminds me of Jersey, in a bad, huge hair, long red acrylics, spandex sort of way). So of course that colors my judgement. Let it be known, though, that I love Marc Jacobs with a large passion. And as for LV, I mostly only take issue with their signature stuff (I hate Coach the same way: the design is boring and bland. And people, it's NOT EXCLUSIVE when everyone has it!).
Anyway, rant aside, I'm not digging this bag. It might be the fact that it reminds me a little too much of Mugatu's Derelicte collection from Zoolander. Add in Vivienne Westwood's "homeless chic" show last month, and I'm starting to worry about rich people.
Never mind the clothes, they may be fabulous, the best thing since sliced bread, but what bothers me is the intent. Are they saying being homeless is chic? Of course they're not, but that's the point they're getting across. There's nothing chic about being homeless. I, thankfully, never have been homeless, but my sister has. It's not fun.
It's hard to judge though. No harm was done, no one was hurt. But what's next? Fat chic? Mentally disabled chic? Is there a line?
