What is your favorite designer?

[diamondsnake]

Fav clothing brand/designer?

I'm planning on going to Orlando and doing some shopping tomorrow after school so I have clothes on the mind!

[DrummerDeanna]

Sorry - but it should read, "WHO is your favorite designer" not what.....:D

anyway I don't have one :p

Have fun shopping :wavey:

[greatdarkwing]

I'm a rich kid, and a new skinny person so my opinions might be "skewed" :laugh:

I tend to enjoy Alfani, Calvin Klein, and INC's new men clothing line.

Broke person checking in :rolleyes: :

NY & Co, most stuff from Target. :p

I don't keep up with designers except for staring at what celebrities wear at awards shows. In that case, I love Carolina Hererra (sp) & Vera Wang.

[strandinthewind]

Prada - without exception - for cool and hip casual - followed closely by Boss.

Brioni, Oxford, and Hickey Freeman for dressier stuff like sports coats and suits

Ralph Lauren and plain ole Gap - for cool everyday stuff.

The important thing to remember is what flatters your body. I LOVE some designers, but they do not cut for my body type.

. . . most stuff from Target. :p

Target has way cool tshirts. I am not wild about their dressier stuff as it tends not to fit me well.

Must be those Lawyer bucks $$ :D I have pretty expensive tastes for a 19 yeard old :laugh: I'll need to marry a 90 year old lady from Palm Beach so she can leave me all her millions when she croaks.....I have it all planned out :angel:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I don't look at labels......since most of my clothes don't have them cuz I buy second hand from Gabes and Goodwill.

hi grandpa sweaters! :wavey:

[wondergirl9847]

I don't go by brand names, I try on clothes, if I don't look fat or stupid, I buy it! :laugh: I also shop at Tarjay (Target for those not as sophisticated as me. LMAO!), and found some terrific pants there (Mossimo, I think they are), they are stretchy and fit me perfectly. I'm short and have a swayback so I need jeans that fit right...everywhere. I love Foleys too, they have great stuff there!

I just went on a major shopping spree a few weeks ago and bought lots of new shirts and 4 pairs of pants. I went crazy nuts at Foleys (got 10% off by getting a credit card!). Some stuff was major cheap, and I splurged a bit on some other things.

I wear Adidas tennis shoes mostly, but as for designers, I just wear whatever fits right. :shrug:

I found a new routine that cuts down on the # of crunches but maximizes the effect.

[Serrart]

I usually don't look at brands for my clothing, but as idea of fashion in general I love Armani and Yohjiy Yamamoto.

Romy

[golddustwoman77]

I just love Anna Sui clothing. She is by far my favorite designer.

[GODDESS6]

i usually by whatever looks cute, w/ no brand name in mind but i do love my louis vuitton purse & sunglasses :nod: ~

[chiliD]

Levi Strauss

[strandinthewind]

Levi Strauss

I love it too, but they do not fit me :mad:

[GODDESS6]

Levi Strauss
that is all my hubby will wear!!!~

[diamondsnake]

D&G

I detest Dolce now! I tried on a couple of their shirts today and I had to get them two or three sizes bigger then my normal size just to get them to fit. I am starting a new diet tomorrow, LOL! Damn Italy and their stupid slim fit shirts!

[WelshWitchPMD]

I don't have a fav. I just get what I like and what fits and what is on sale.

[xdreamsunwindx]

I love L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani, but since I am neither skinny or rich, I can't afford it. I basically buy whatever looks cute, fits, and what I can afford. I live in Old Navy jeans and vintage band shirts, hoodies and chuck taylors. I'm all about comfort, but when I get dressed up, I like Charlotte Russe. Target's stuff is the ****, and I love some of the stuff from KMart. I like Lip Service dresses for shows/parties, and for school, I like Byer. I'm a loser, I know. -_-

[GardenStateGirlie]

I'm a fan of mixing it up...I hate head to toe anything. A few nice deisgner items in my closet but nothing that I wouldn't pair with some GAP jeans. I'm a fan of Kenneth Cole. His designs are clean and classic but sexy as hell. I also love Max Azria and the BCBG line. Other than that, there's a lot of designers I love but currently, are totally out of my league as far as purchasing is concerned.

[sara1998]

I like Levi's and Tommy jeans. I don't give a damn who makes the shirts, as long as I like 'em and they fit. I buy a lot of my little one's stuff at Target and Old Navy. Sometimes, because I love to buy for her so much, I splurge on her and go to Limited Too, Gap (whose jeans I despise since I can't fit 'em) and some Tommy. That's about as high fashion as I go. I like Nike's, and I never buy any sunglasses unless they're Oakleys.

Me, too. My income, nor my parents', have never, ever, been in the realm of designers. therefore, I don't think about it much. I am lucky, and was lucky, if I could buy clothes.(I had 2 pairs of pants in sixth grade! boy, that was sure awesome! :D ) BUT - I have noticed things on TV I like. I don't always remember, though. Vera Wang comes to mind. Armani. I like things without too much going on, classic, flattering lines. Exception - Bob Mackey and Cher. love it, love it, love it. I'm fond of the simple dress with outstanding strap/neckline. Or the super flattering clean shape, with something a bit unusual going on in the cut. I hate flouncy stuff, and just stuff with too much going on in general. Black is great. That skin tone/beige thing can be great, as well.

[amber]

I'm a fan of walking around in a $3 singlet (an actual white singlet, not some feminine design) and a pair of jeans I've had for about five years. Other than that I have seven shirts exactly the same and six jeans, they're usually rotated. I'd rather cut off a toe than go clothes shopping so these were all purchased in one day and were simply the closest within reach that fit me. I wouldn't have a clue what brand they are. So my favourite designer is whoever designed my singlet. I doubt this helped in any way.
It helped me, in the way that I love how someone else doesn't give two flying effs about designers... :D Whether you simply don't care, or can't afford it, I don't mind either way. :) However, I do admit to much vanity, so I really, really, try to get stuff at Ross that looks good on me. :laugh: :laugh: And, lo and behold, it is possible. I do look good in my clothes, wonder of wonders.

I know - I go to the outlet malls around here to buy stuff. I usually wait until the end of the year sales, etc. Every now and then, I go a little crazy like with the fab. coat I bought in Dec. when my 10 year old other car coat died :laugh: But, that is failrly rare and it is Marshalls for me :laugh:

[Mad4stevie]

Ralph Lauren . . . at Marshalls or TJ Maxx.

It's always nice when you can have some good pieces. I always have this weird feeling, when I go to interviews, that the practiced eye may be able to tell I'm wearing a cheap jacket... :laugh: But even ross gets some good designers for cheap, and Marshalls, etc. I got my new interview jacket at ross for 16 something, but they couldn't find the pricetag, and didn't care. I have the feeling it was a more expensive one. :thumbsup: Looks sharp! hehehehe.

I have gotten things there for like $10 that cost hundreds at Macy's etc. Better in my pocket than their's :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

I wear whatever is comfortable and affordable. In fact, I just bought a cool shirt for 3 bucks and I love the sucker! :laugh:

Sweeeeet. And especially my pockets which don't even contain what Macy's would ask! :laugh: They can look, but it aint there...

[greatdarkwing]

You couldn't keep my girlfriend out of the Coach store w/ a brick wall! And might I add, that because of this, my bank account has never been thinner :( She can shop at Coach all she wants when Fleetwood Mac/ La Nicks retire :laugh: :nod:

The point is to look like a million bucks without having spent it ;) I have the worst luck with Marshalls and the like. I never get there when things are first put out so i'm left with the crap sizes that don't fit me. It's hit or miss there.

Ah, my Cancer boyfriend used to by me bunches of stuff, too. ;) Very sweet, sir. Just don't let the girl take advantage. Oh, and on a side note? Coach = soooo overrated. :D

Don't laugh, but.......

....I work out to Paula Abdul's Video.



Her ab section is torture....and I don't do very many. Within a week I had a line down my stomach. :D She does a lot more than straight up crunches. You twist and turn and use your arms in different ways. It rawks....for me, at least.

Really? Wow. And I thought it was the drugs keeping her in shape lately. :shrug:

I wish I could get a line down my stomach. :( But alas, I will always have a lid on the cooler that contains my 6 pack (I think it's there, but I can't be sure since I've never seen it.)

Well, this video was made in the early 90s. I'm sure the only time she sits up now is to snort a line.

Before this last 15 pounds I packed on I was actually getting a line down my stomach - I was SO stoked....

Now, however.....not so much now :laugh:

I'm working out again though....perhaps I should try Paula Abdul's ab workout ;)

[Mad4stevie]

DING DING DING DING DING DING - have we ever met there :laugh:

God, how I love those stores! I could never afford Ralph at Nordstroms or Macy's, that's for damn sure :) Too many student loans to pay off :mad:
