First I read this piece in the New Yorker, a profile of "rock and roll" designer Rick Owens who sells $200 tee-shirts and leather jackets that retail for many thousands of dollars.
Then, this interactive bit of nonsense proffers Marc Jacobs as an "indie" look.
Gah! I'm sick of this. It's kind of ridiculous that there's clothing for sale that costs $1,000+, but then to turn around and call this clothing "rock"? Johnny Ramone would not approve. (Vivianne Westwood would, though, I guess.)
(Also, I'm kind of annoyed that the New Yorker seems to be all about these profiles of obscenely wealthy people these days. I don't care. And I hate everything Patricia Marx writes. She's obnoxious.)
Just needed to get that off my chest.
