WTF

[Faust]

Well, however spurious this may be, at least it's a product, and not a dust bag that comes with any RO purchase, which was the primary source of the WTFness.

[tonecrush]

It even has the sewn in "II" tags. Actual product indeed.

^ I thought that was quite nice actually - he is genuinely excited to wear the clothes.

[Arkady]

Well, the comedy is in the stern-faced existential dread of what it actually feels like to wear a garment vs. what it looks like on the runway sometimes.

^^^I wish I was that happy for stuff on the runway. Jaw is literally dropped.

[DudleyGray]

I googled it and he said this:

"Except that’s not what happened at all. “The thing about the photo is—I’m going to be honest with you—I was actually making a face at someone across the runway,” Leto told VF.com on a phone call early Thursday morning. To cushion the blow, he conceded, “I have that feeling with most things [Gucci] makes because they make such beautiful things. But I was actually goofing off with a friend, and you can’t actually tell from the picture."

Zara doing what they do best:




I know this is their regular scheme, but I do get a WTF out of this every once in a while.

Zara copying Adidas, dgaf.

[NOHSAD]

I saw those on the models while browsing Zara the other day out of curiosity. Like Bukka said, they don't give a fuck, and it shows in the "design" of the sneakers

And made in China, probably.

[lowrey]

And made in China, probably.

Just like the ro x adidas..?

[PurpleJesuss]

Almost half of Uma Wang's production is made in China. It doesn't mean as much anymore. Made in china is becoming quite expensive.....

[gregor]

you can take made in china with a grain of salt if it's ziggy or uma, but it's representative of the reason behind the quality, or at least has been for ages, of zara, h&m, etc.

country of production is still somewhat linked, if not very much linked, to the actual value of the product, and a lot of times, though not necessarily intrinsically, practically, linked to the actual quality of the piece. rick in moldova being a good example of that.

Made in China is completely different than what it used to be for sure! Visited opening ceremony to check out what Jan-Jan pieces they had and saw that they were showcasing Chinese designers this year. Saw a lot of designers that I've never heard of before, some of which are using pretty good quality fabrics and construction. Definitely cool to see smaller artisanal designers come out of a country generally associated with cheaper products
