Fashion: Low End Rising?

The Fashionisto

On a side note, I love this cardigan from the Gap and might just have to order it!

  1. I remember watching a documentary on the GAP production team, from their design process to creation. It’s such a struggle for them to stay relevant because they have to guess upcoming trends from colour to silhouette and shape. But I’m glad that they’re curving their demographic to something more modern looking. I love anything cable knit, and that cardigan is a great look!

    What’s fascinating about Urban Outfitters is that although not everything they offer is upscale, all of these young hipsters know just how to make a statement with the whole DIY aesthetic. What bugs me though, is that mostly everyone comes out there looking exactly like their catalogue. But I guess that’s the point of U.O. You can go through different versions of yourself there, until you find the exact fit.
