I am including Dave in this fashion post, bc I know he thrives on it. This article had xsteen fuming yesterday. xsteen loves lilly Pulitzer, it was huge in her HS bc it was a prep school etc. Heck, even I own a few Lilly dresses. But this article really speaks to WHITE PRIVILEDGE and that's why Robin Givhen denigrates lilly! it is soooo clear! bright colors are infantilizing, but if MOOCHELLE's big bohunkus dons some African designer or Japanese designer and wears bright colors, it is the EPITOME of high style.

I can’t speak to the fashion sense, but there seems to be a bit of snobbishness to the reaction. Of course, once something once trendy is now mass market the truly trendy will look down their noses and go to the next trendy thing.

Sort of like a female version of only liking a rock band when they are small and “cultish” and not when they “sell out” and can fill arenas.

I got about half way through that article - it is becoming laughable how writers have to blame everything on being white/rich. Why is it you can go to any black church and see grown men wearing the most gaudy colored suits, with hats and shoes matching, yet colors on women are infantilizing? lol

My daughter bought a beautiful Lilly blouse for the engagement party she is attending this weekend.
