In continuation to my banker's rant, I have come to the conclusion that there is another group of idiots who deserve the same treatment: Fashion designers.
You see, husband S. has been over in Holland for the weekend (weehee!) and in order to celebrate for this, we went shopping. And after a truly obscene amount of money had been spent on his clothes, we had a little look at clothes for me. So there I was, standing in the middle of a shop that I normally enjoy, doing a 360 degree turn.
My conlusion: I hate, no, loath this year's fashion. With a vengeance. It is absolutely awful! I don't mind the cut and style so much, but the colour! How can you like something that isn't there?
Every piece of clothing, as far as the eyes could see, was devoid of colour. And I don't mean bleached, but everything was drab: olive greens, plum purples, grey, dark brown. I remember that, when I was a child, we would paint sometimes, and one day I mixed all my colours to see what would come out. I tell you, it was more vibrant than the colours I saw in the shops yesterday. They made me think of tarmac in the rain: good for traffic accidents, not for wearing.
Anyway, it seems to me, that it's no wonder we are plunging into a recession at breakneck speed: you are what you wear, after all. So if you dress in depressing clothes, how can you be cheery?
I say, we kill the fashion designers for what they're putting us through. Oh, and the bankers, of course.

Lol... kill the fashion designers... interesting thought.
ReplyDeleteKill the ones that only do dull colors, I'll agree with that. But then again, I'd have no chance of wearing my black suit that I enjoy so much, especially whith the white shirt I find so pleasing ;p.
Then again, I know people who have very vibrant clothing, but that have the most boring depressing, and insightless ideas.
This topic will have to take more pondering on my part... I'll get back to you.

Hmmm... I don't think I meant anything about the people who wear the colours. After all, when you want to be the least bit fashionable, you don't really have a choice.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'd just go for the designers who seem to collectively suffer from the sobbing side of their manic/depressive disorder...
I have no problem with black and white. They're strong, primary colours and I wear them all the time...
In that case, can we add the designers that sell strips of cloth for hundreds of euros? Sometimes the fashion isn't pretty, functional, or even useable... it's practically painted on, and so tiny that it suggests that we should just go back to fig leafs.... Now that's what I call horror!

Sure, why not. Although apparently there's a connection between the height of the hemline and the height of economic growth. In other words, it's better for our wallets to show a lot of skin. So please start wearing miniskirts, I'm trying to sell my house!
