So the designer of Comme Des Garcons designed a collection for H&M. So everyone was like, yay! Cheap designer clothes!
Yesterday, the collection was introduced. People crowded in front of the stores an hour before they opened, just to get their hands on some of the stuff.
This girl I don't know, but who is friends with me on Myspace, wrote a bulletin about her experience.. apparently, she arrived 20 minutes after the shop had opened (She was VERY upset about that) and there was nothing left but like 3 blouses and women were elbowing eachother out of the way, carrying enormous stacks of clothes and gathering around salespeople bringing stuff back from the changing rooms like vultures, to grab the last clothes right out of their arms.
The collection was sold out within minutes.
And that was here in cologne. In New York, people crowded in front of the store at 11 pm.
So you're thinking, wow! Those clothes must've really been something... well... haha... see and facepalm:


Yeah. I admit, I don't know much about fashion, but if people camp outside stores for polka dot blouses and canvas slip-on sneakers (costing 60€!!!) then what the fuck is wrong with them?
Seriously.... how were they brought up to have those kind of values? It's ridiculous, pathetic.. disgusting really! And I have vowed to make fun of anyone I see wearing that STUPID polka dot handbag that I swear is completely undisinguishable from anything else at H&M.
Also, I'm not into designer clothes myself, but whenever I've asked friends who are why they wear them, they say: "Because you stand out, because nobody else you know will have them" (although I wonder how Louis Vuitton bags figure in to that...) and my crazy private school friends say: "You wear them to show you can afford them".
Aha. Well in that case, why??!!! This collection is cheaper than the usual Comme des Garcons stuff, and loads of people will have it.... so seriously, why? Because it's so wonderfully beautiful and unique and special? Come on, I dare you, challenge me to recreate those exact outfits from cheap store stuff or make them my self and I guarantee you, I will.
It sickens me, really.
