What's wrong with them?! LOL</p> <p>Anyways, I really wonder why such a total switch out. Stella McCartney was in. I didn't see a Diane von Furstenburg section. Stella seems a little edgy to me for the 'burbs. I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mass-designer-switch-out#post-723593 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:58:27 +0000 shiny 723593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer Neiman Marcus to our local Nordie's. Call me strange. And no I haven't bought a whole lot there. Or at the Nordie's either. But Neiman's here has a fabulous formal dress department that is sooo much fun to fantasy shop in. And the SA's are far less snooty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mass-designer-switch-out#post-723580 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:46:51 +0000 christieanne 723580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just not convinced that a $300 tshirt can be better than a $30 one. But I am convinced that a $3 tshirt can't quite make it either. Happy medium somewhere in there. </p> <p>NM is not my thing. I do like the cafe though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mass-designer-switch-out#post-723512 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:45:25 +0000 rachylou 723512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I haven't spent a lot of time in department stores the past three years, having moved away from the 'burbs... but I went into my old Neiman's this weekend, and it really hit me there's been a mass designer switch out. I thought it was just the new Neiman's carrying different designers, but no. No more Marc Jacobs unless I go into SF (big groan there). Now there's Erdem and Alice &amp; Olivia and what else.</p> <p>I don't know if I'm interested, but I'm interested in looking more closely at who they're carrying now and wonder what that means for business. And what's trending.</p> <p>I just finished reading something about old, old labels finding new life. I mean <em>old</em> labels. I'm not talking YSL. I'm talking people who made, like, horse blankets and so forth in the 19th century. I'm not sure I wouldn't find that more interesting. I'm highly suspicious of $300 t-shirts. </p> <p>Call me crabby. </p>
