Some people like to spend thousands of dollars on a Rick Owens or Chanel or Louis Vuitton jacket or bag and I don't say you spent too much money and should have bought a similar article of clothing or accessory from a 'lesser brand' or factory outlet. Same could be said for half of the clothing or accessories in the 'fashion' world. Why does my wife prefer James Perse over Rick Owens, why do I prefer Rick Owens to James Perse? Personal preference and an appreciation for the designer.

I paid $12.00 for a 3 pack of socks at the local TJ Maxx and had a hard time sleeping that night because I felt like I'd been had. Seriously.
If I could roll toilet paper up on my feet instead of buying socks, I would.
I'm not going to judge anyone's purchases but I'm openly wondering why Rick even offers socks in his line.
I mean wouldn't you cover other things like a leather codpiece or a matador's hat before covering basics like socks if you're a designer?
Leather codpiece with deer fur detail, part of the S/S10 line: SQUIRMISHOriginally posted by mizzarSorry for being kind of a dick to you.

I understand someone buying a RO leather even though it's hideously overpriced...You can argue that there's a design/material aspect that makes it special or characteristical for his work.. just like a CCP leather piece or a ma+ aviator etc... But this here is still about fashion and not consumerism or am I wrong?? This is about discussing fashion and not bragging about what you can buy with your money allthough it sometimes leads into that. Is fashion really just about showing how much dough you got? Why the hell should one buy socks so expensive? There's no fabric or design that makes it justify the price.. There's just nothing to it except the high price. big FAIL imo
But then again everybody is free to buy whatever they want to.. Myself, I'm still proud of my wool-socks my grandma knitted me last year!! And I'm happy to reconsider my thoughts if someone can give me a new overview on those socks, which doesn't make them a fucking fashion-killer.

but guys... they say "STRUTTER" on them!!
anyways..was thinking about Veblens "conspicuous consumption"
“our apparel is always in evidence and affords an indication of our
pecuniary standing to all observers at the first glance"
..but who the fuck notices luxe socks??

And before someone tells me that one has a full right to spend as he will, this does not make it any less shallow and disgusting. There are limits, and you have just successfully broken through them.

he could argue that he is admittedly buying a novelty item (like Raf Simons towel, Dior Homme beanie with a bee logo on it, etc.) and is simply supporting his favourite designer
especially since it was from the RO store, proceeds from his novelty sock sales is kind of like a charitable donation toward the man himself, isn't it? lol
