On the subway this morning we had a slightly awkward run-in with the girl sitting next to us. Sitting there, reading August Vogue Paris, we glanced over and saw everything this woman owned inside her see-through PVC bag.
We saw incoming messages on her Blackberry (no, we didn’t read them), her itinerary for the day, and even her workout gear for an after-work gym visit. All that and more on display for all of New York to see. Our only thought was,
Eat the Designers AnOther‘s 10th Birthday With Alber, Karl, Gareth, and More – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, Style Advice, “Why would you wear that?”
From clear plastic shoes to bags and jackets,
monster energy hats, PVC is just one of those materials that hasn’t hit our radar. Sure,
Wholesale New Era Hats, it’s waterproof,
Basketball Jerseys, which makes it great for a beach bag or maybe a slick raincoat in a downpour, but the idea of all the contents of our bag on display for any passerby is kind of creepy. Plus, does beach ball material really belong in our wardrobe?
Sure,
nfl hats, Marni,
dc hats, Gareth and Balenciaga have all experimented with the synthetic substance in non-see-through colors for clothes, but we’re still not sure it’s a great idea, especially since you know it doesn’t breathe well, or, at all,
Friendship Bracelets Go From Camp To Cool – Fashi, and could cause embarrassing squeaky noises every time you move.
But back to the bags – do you really want everyone seeing the stuff you cart around, your credit cards,
Cheap NFL Jerseys,
Auctioning Audrey – Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows, your brand of mints, your stuff you keep at the very bottom?
Or are we just a bunch of prudes over here?
