Comme des Garcons - H&M

[reborn]

Well, in the States it's blown up out of proportion and the people who will be buying are not those who appreciate but cannot afford CDG, but those who are driven by pure marketing hype.

Do you think this means there will be pieces on ebay and yahoo?

[Faust]

Of course - I estimate about 10% of this will end up on Ebay. Same as with HMx KL, HM x VR, Uniqlo x Cloak, etc...

[Fade to Black]

yeah i think this is gonna be the most eBay-profitable high street designer collaboration venture of them all up to date...ESPECIALLY in Asia.

Thanks for the link.

CdG is indestructible: avant garde, evolving, referencing historical roots, commerical, expanding it's audience...does it end?

No. Rei thinks she is the new Andy Warhol. Or at least the Andy Warhol of fashion. Which she probably is.

I'd work at her Factory attending to the foil on the walls!

"I played with notions of bad taste and then did them the Comme des Garçons way. Of course, bad taste done by Comme des Garçons becomes good taste."

Ha! How I love this woman. Owner of the biggest pair of balls in fashion, bar none.

I thought Karl's balls were bigger? Wait, are we equating egos to balls? I'm confuzzled.

i'll take a look at both of the wmns drop crotch trousers and the long mens scarf and well, if there are many people fighting for the stuff, thought about buying more and selling it on ebay to make a living out of it :) with the h&m "madonna" leather it was the greatest deal i ever made, bought for 40 euros, sold for about 150 :)

Buy yourself a cookie while you are at it.

:) i can understand that you hate it, but well, i am a student and on the page the items i listed don't look that bad and the price is also ok, so why not

we can only hope for implosion at this point.

Traditionally, egos are equated with penises. Balls are more the designated repository for chutzpah. I concede that Karl might have a bigger penis.

yeah CdG is about as Warholian as a profit-generating enterprise can get.
