Style Signals: Everywhere?
One of the reasons that I love to read Fashionista is because of the comments. A recent post deals with style signals, labels and clichés (read: fashion stereotypes). The use of stereotypes, even fun fashion ones, is dangerous. We can't all be painted with the same stroke or cast in the same light. All the same, some are hilarious, a few speak of some truth, but too many are sad.
See my visual interpretation below of the comments. If you want to read the harsher ones please feel free to visit.

A Gap in their plans.
Gap and Pantone have teamed up to create a line of Pantone t shirts based on the colour for 2009: Mimosa (see previous post) and their spring predictions.
Creative? Orignal? Alas, no.
There is a gap in their plans. Basically, this has been done before by utilitarian-chic Uniqlo. Plus, they offered more colours, fabric choices and started at only $15. It can be seen here, here, here, here and here. T

A reason to stay home
The inauguration is a reason to stay home and watch this historic event on TV -- that is unless you are in Washington DC. God bless the New America.

Dressing the part
The word "snobbery" came into use for the first time in England during the 1820s. It was said to have derived from the habit of many Oxford and Cambridge colleges writing sine nobilitate (without nobility), or "s.n.o.b," next to the names of ordinary students on examination lists in order to distinguish them from their aristocratic peers.
- Status Anxiety (BOOK)
Funny, without status the complete opposite of today's meaning. S.N.O.B someone offended by the lack of high status in others.

Its about time
Net-a-Porter will open TheOutNet.com -- basically a Net-a-Porter outlet! Hopefully the sales will be better than the ones in the past. This is just perfect for the everyday fashionista, recessionista, frugalista and cheapista. It will be open for shopping in February but you can register now. Better yet, I'm making my wishlist on Net-a-Porter now and hoping for them to be on sale in the near future.
