touche jacobs

many department stores have taken to the trend of offering exclusive and affordable fashion lines within their stores from couture designers. examples of this are isaac mizrahi for target and simply vera kohl’s designed by vera wang herself. the trend has been a big hit, giving smaller budgets a chance to wear bigger names. well. marc jacobs has turned the tables on this idea is offering a line of flip flops inspired by the same type of low cost stores. he said he’s always admired what stores like wal-mart, payless, and kmart have done for fashion and hopes he has done them justice with this new line, dedicated to them. other designers hopefully, do not follow suit.
Is it just me that is confused by fancy linings and parts of clothing and shoes that no one but a foot or butt will ever see? Just me? Yes? No? Ok.
So, I don’t get it. They are expensive but they look cheap and trashy? Is that it?
yeah that’s it. xoxo.
