WTF

[neostrifeX]

Would have fit perfectly on the previous page along with the other Cinzia Araia abominations.

[Fuuma]

lol wut? only 2 were made? Only two in that batch, which means only two in that week or whatever. Saw a lot more of them already, People still falling for the 1 of 2 game?

Who cares how many of the Ronald McDonald's vest were made, the thing is lame and shouldn't be worn.

I think the biggest WTF regarding Cinzia Araia is that there are stores that buy and stock the stuff. Tons of people in the world making blatant knockoffs and mediocre designs... the real problem is that stores actually give these people money.

and similarly, people must actually buy it!

I'll meet and raise you that when these store owners tell me with the straight face how amazing these "designers" are and how I should meet them (meaning, obviously and eventually, featuring them on SZ).

[Shucks]

tbh i'd love to read an interview where they share their thoughts on their 'process' and 'design philosophy'. what makes someone want to spend their life producing that kind of stuff...? if it's just the money, then i guess i can understand it it, but if it ISN'T, then what the actual fuck.

[Later I looked up to] Rick Owens and Carol Christian Poell. [...] I try to steal from each of these areas.

At least she's honest about it.

having studied fashion design I’d like to one day make my own line of clothing and accessories, [to create] a total Cinzia ARAIA look.

yikes... i'm guessing it will look something like this...?

[PurpleJesuss]

I don't support them in the slightest, but i can understand how brands like this lure people into the whole aesthetic. You buy CA and a month later you realize it's not good enough and you morph into a rick acolyte.

wow that's pretty generous

[gregor]

i don't think i could go a whole month, either

that interview is as painful to read as her shoes are to look at.

Coming from the fairly recent discussion on Isaac Sellam. Now on sale for $40; not by Isaac.

This reminds me of when I was a lot more ignorant on fashion and contemplated buying a pair of her boots.

Ahahaha what the fuck just happened.

[neostrifeX]

Pushing style boundaries... that's quite a stretch
