'Love's like a runway, but which one do i love more?"
So for my male readers out there this is the time you realise i'm gonna start talking fashion and bolt onto some other webpage about cross bows or hunting rifles or something... go on... it's okay... we all understand when it comes to fashion you men only PRETEND to be interested.
Okay so now the men are gone i want to talk about labels. You know the ones i'm talking about, the ones that when you hear the words it makes your stomach flip and then your mind boggle and the subsequent price tag attached to that dress you just 'have to have!' The question is, there are just so many different types: Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Roberto Cavali, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Vera Wang, Manolo Blahnik, Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Vivienne Westwood and not forgetting the lovely Calvin Klein. It seems with all this choice in high quality merchandise those of us who have the cash to splash are lucky girls! It seems as though nowadays so many people in this world won't settle for anything less than designer brands, but what is the difference between two identical dresses one from the shelf of the Vera Wang store in New York and one from Primark in every mall in the country?I mean if they look the same what difference does a little label make? I mean i can almost guarantee you that the one that costs more even though it appears the same probably will wear much better in the long term. Now don't get me wrong, i'm as big a Fan of Primark as the next gal and I've found some pretty sweet deals among the rummage sale they call a store but would i rather have the Vera Wang? Hell to the Yeah! It then makes me wonder if so many people aren't willing to settle for anything less than designer, then why are more and more women settling for men that simply 'don't fit right'?
I'm looking around and it seems that since becoming more adept at being single it is becoming easier to spot a 'knock-off', so the thing i wanna know is, where the hell is my Dior?
The other thing about relationships these days is that everything, and the same goes for clothes, seems to be getting more and more disposable. I mean you've all heard of the girl who won't go near her Fendi purse simply because it is 'so last season'. It is then you realise that the reason the Fashion industry is a multi-million dollar one, is that we as a sex are getting bored rather a bit more quickly these days. I am yet to find any cave paintings of a cave-woman ordering her mate to go kill ANOTHER saber tooth tiger so she can have a new tiger-skin dress as the old one is so 'stone age', but there we go!
It's also a question of what you can salvage and what you can't, if my designer dress breaks i'm more than likely to get my needle and thread out, but if its something from Primark i am more likely gonna bin it, the same way if i really like someone and think most of their personality is fantastic i will work to fix any problems as opposed to just walking away from someone i haven't invested in emotionally.
So when it comes to guys (and designers as well) we don't always like what they're putting down the runway now do we? And that Vivienne West wood faux polar bear cape may thrill your best friend, but may leave you with a 'What the hell does she like that for?' look on your face that can cause certain bumps in the road of friendship. The thing about clothing is when a girlfriend asks my opinion of an outfit i'm more than likely gonna tell her if it makes her legs look too stubby, or her chest too flat. However it just isn't that easy when it comes to saying: "Actually that guy you really like? Yeah he's a total assface."
Here for your amusement is a list of the types of men and which label best defines them! (well in my opinion anyway)
Guy types as Labels:
Sporty guy: Definitely Ralph Lauren, easy going, snug fitting stuff to keep you warm and also makes you look adorable and petite next to his giant muscles.
Business Guy: Somebody say Armani? Sharp edges and bold statements make this man a fantastic accessory for any party gal.
Zen Guy: Chilled and mellow in colour, Calvin Klein is a fantastic fit here for all those chilled casual girls who just wanna cuddle on the sofa, with a range of great winter range that keep you totally warm all year round.
Quirky Guy: Completely Burberry with a range of weird and wonderful hats and patterns with some controversial trench coats, this guy is certainly an acquired taste and perfect for those looking for something a bit different.
Tortured soul Guy: Dolce and Gabbana best describes this moody soul with their use of grey's and blacks along with faded denims and intricate Victorian era design.
So which Label man are you trying on this season?
Atargatis, hoping to be in possession of some 'designer brands' soon, over and out! xxx
