Vote Winner: Let Them Be Cheap!!!

The poll has closed and the votes are in. To refresh your memory, the poll was about if you approve of expensive designers making less expensive lines to roll with the times. The debate is centered around if it takes away from the specialness and exclusivity of the brand or not. The winner for this vote was that it was great for designers to do this. I guess people aren't too worried about the expensive image after all. In second place, interestingly enough, came that it was totally wrong and took away from what the designer stood for - high quality clothes and a status that goes with it. So I have done some research and found that one of my favorite designers, Vera Wang, did just this. She has a line at Kohls called Simply Vera by Vera Wang.





I have to say I don't love all of it. It's definitely a line you have to sift through and it looks like it may be directed towards slightly older women than myself. Nonetheless, it's Vera!

Big fashion designers like Vera Wang are realizing their current status needs a tweak to accommodate our current economy. They are making cheaper lines and selling them in places like Target and Wal Mart. In our new world of limited economic surplus, do you think this switch many designers are making is good? Or do you think it compromises the integrity and specialness of the brand? Would you be interested in buying Betsey Johnson things full price when some of her stuff is in a cheaper line?

Vote Winner: Snakeskin!!!

Well, the votes were tallied and the jury's back in. The winner was overwhelmingly snakeskin, by 75%! This really wasn't the animal print I expected to win out, but I guess that's why we have Democratic votes in the first place. I found some pretty awesome snakeskin items. Let me know what you think!
