uncool fashion

[SteveT]

Princess Anne recently made overtures to the fashion industry by having some of her designer tops remodelled which drew sneers from the press, I rather admired her not throwing out her old stuff, and getting them revamped.

Good for you Annie, I am not a royalist but she gets more points from me than all her idiotic brothers.

LADIES Knock 'em dead at Ascot this year by going into your garage or garden shed, getting the biggest thing you can find and wearing it on your head.

Ratty brands and incoherent English. Such a good look.

"Yep, it's a myth that the Italians are stylish. Crap leather jackets, tracksuits, ponytails, and stupid pointy shoes can be observed in abundance along the full length of the country."

Yes but none of them (Italians) would wear a short sleeve shirt paired with a tie, chinos and cornish pasty shoes like many of my British work mates.

The Italians' main downfall is a sheep-like adherence to designer labels - think fake Moncler jacket and YSL handbag (both girls and boys) - and they have ruined the British icon that was Belstaff (which is now Italian owned) by recreating the classic Trialmaster jacket in nylon. Che barba!!

GIRLS stuff a pitta bread with tampons, lipstick, etc. Your friends will envy at your 'Viviene Westwood' style clutch bag.

Captain Scarlet, do you have the exclamation mark key taped to your middle finger? It really is very non-U to scatter your text with meaningless random punctuation.

Hehehe, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed Captain Scarlett's interesting choice of labels..

Btw Captain Scarlett, I used to work in the buying office of Armani and you might as well be buying George Armani given that they make all their clothes in China, with the odd stitch done in Italy so they can sell you a suit for a ?1000. More fool you I say.

I couldn't give a stuff what other people wear, it's up to the individual to find things that they feel comfortable and good in. I've seen many a non fatty wearing tracksuits.

Lol......The Grammer police!.....

Really chaps n lasses!....I gather you must be the track suit brigade....so defensive!....or fat?

or skinny pretending they are fit?

>:D<

Or, as an alternative to the above Captain Scarlet, perhaps just people who don't like "!!!!!!" after every single point that someone makes in a post. I don't like the grammar police any more than you do but this "!!!!" tests the patience.

I'm sorry but the 'George Amani' and 'Bennaton' does it for me because you seem to be making a point that you're somehow better than others because you choose labels over tracksuits..but you can't even get the labels' spellings right! (that deserved an exclamation point).

If your argument was about quality or style choices then you could have chosen to highlight these rather than the labels you buy into. To me this says far more to me about you than anyone who wears a tracksuit.

The above posters summed it up in their quotes from The Devil Wears Prada- there is no industry more commercial than the fashion industry and although I like clothes, being a slave to fashion trends and brands just make me think of sheep buying into a massive marketing spin. But then of course, that's what the industry wants! Enjoy your Timberland boots!
