i thought jak & jil was shot by a dude?
but yeah that combo isn't working...the roll up is way too calculated dude must've been getting ready for the winter semester of differential eq. If he absolutely had to go with that combination should've just let the pants fall over the shoes no point in flashing that Raf it's way too fash. The kind of combo thought up with blogs like these in mind.

you're not really fooling most people and the designer wouldn't get the customer at their price, anyways.
actually, i don't think all designers are against it, either. it can be a type of marketing for them.
also, fakes are a form of flattery.

I don't mind highstreet "designer inspired" fashion at all. It's just a fact of our times. Everybody wants to consume but the stuff people on here buy just isn't accessible to everybody. Also, not everybody cares as much as we do. They just want to look nice, but aren't interested in the background of the items. Nothing wrong with that.
H&M/Topshop/etc don't base their identity on the aesthetic of any particular designer, even if they sell the occasional blatant ripoff. What does bother me is middle-upper price labels whose aesthetics and often individual pieces are 1:1 knock-offs of genuine brands.Originally posted by jogui went out to take garbage out and froze my tits runnin down stairs , think im gonna chill at home tonite . hungry tho anyone have cool ideas on what to order for supper , not pizza tho sick of pizza

I'm a big collector of rolex and patek, the most faked watch on the planet and i can tell the fakes a mile away. this has led rolex to very strick policies on knowing and reconditioning their watches. i think its great and rolex has prospered from the fakes. I have no problem someone owning one.
collectors of all areas, including antiques and art, have to deal with fakes and counterfits. again, it goes with the free market, supply/demand. goes with the territory, but i don't think it should change, as it would take our free market away.

goes back to that age old instruction of 'owning things for yourself and your personal comfort/pleasure'...if some people feel wearing a watch that somewhat looks like a rolex gives them pleasure for its connotations, that's fine, although personally I'd feel more at ease with myself wearing one purchased at the five matches flagship. some go for the look within their means whereas others want the association that comes with it, and i think you'd be hard pressed to get a truthful answer out of people at times when confronting them

sorry for my bad english, i learned it from the book.
I too am inspired by homeless people when I buy a $1,000 jacket. Why don't we just shit on them? Oh, fashion, sometimes I wonder why I bother...(Faust)
