    "The purchases included $75,062 worth at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis; $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue; $9,447 at Macy's; and $789 at the luxury retailer Barneys New York. Goods were also bought for Palin family members, such as $4,902 spent at upscale men's store Atelier and $92 at Pacifier, a Minneapolis baby boutique."

    Damn, wonder if this was for her husband or maybe her son?? I wonder if anyone can dig up a picture of the person wearing said Atelier gear.
    Old meme, and the mystery has been solved, it was actually a mix-up with another store if I remember correctly.

          What piece is this the description of?

          Sometimes I think there should be a section just for ebay WTFs. The leather daddy ebay seller comes to mind same goes with the pants-half-off-with-no-underwear-on Dior Homme seller

          I think it's hilarious when some sellers put "gay interest" in the title of some of their items. It's Dior/Helmut/Jil. Nothing really gay interest about it haha

              both zambesi and nom*D are NZ and are related.

              If you know your Carpe etc ie you would have guessed by now.
              I dont have time to search for CoN pieces on the net. My observation was based on visiting their showroom and from stores.
              Its fucking obvious. Gareth started the label after moving to New York and did his homework at Atelier - this is a fact.

              No one said australian designers arent doing positive things.
              They just dont deliver to a refined client. Im going no further on this topic.

              Id like to call on pipcleo to sum things up in 2 words.
              i wont bother with a summation of mouse et al
              better to stick with assins in-house brand if finances constrain
              this will soon be available in a new gertrude st store along with
              selected dark shadow detritus and sequined dior of days past
              ndf , i echo your sentiments regarding over reaching australian designers , but none do it with the self assured arrogance of team zambesi.... can see them downsizing yet again soon

                cool piece but 500 is pretty steep this time of year/recession
                ill pay 200 haha
                One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

                  I'm curious to see this. They mainly stock over priced womens wear don't they. I went in there once and saw some two year old exploder for full retail afaik.. please expand upon this..It's a big beautiful store space though..pity

                    I haven't visited the zambesi store on flinders lane many times but the kiwi SA there was quite lovely to deal with, shame they've dropped mens RO/drkshdw and MMM though.

                      haha, yeah I'm in no way defending Zambesi as a label, just saying the kiwi girl working there was very nice (one of the male SA's I spoke with once was a complete wanker though). the quality and design of the line is subpar, their deer skin leather jacket looked and felt like vinyl (not to mention it cost $2K for a partially lined jacket).

                              if the n(n) "collectors" items are actually authentic, the seller has managed to find the most retarded looking shit ever

                                yep pretty much and a serious price to boot..

                                i always hated those super distressed/detroyed jeans but once i saw someone wear them they were not as bad as i fist thought. Still would never wear them
