Really what's in a name? The most sought after designer looks, may not look the best on you. So why do you want them so badly? Advertising, celebrity endorsements, and peer pressure give prestige brands cache. And of course everyone will know that you spent the big bucks. Or did you? If you did not buy couture, the "designer" clothing you purchased has the designer's name on it as the result of a licensing agreement, not necessarily because the designer had anything to do with the creation of the garment. Make sure your purchases of designer clothing merit the increased price with better fabric and and fit, and that you are not actually paying more to wear a designer label.
Or, choose to wear garments from local and emerging designers that personally stand behind their labels. Look for one-of-a-kind handbags from Victoria Chulay, gemstome jewelry from Kneckknacks, and cashmere and alpaca sweaters from
Hallet Sweater Art on our website. Sale in progress.
