Yes this is real.
Yes that dress is for men.
Yes that is a dude in the picture.
Gucci's description says:
This tartan smock in delicate colors reflects the idea of fluidity explored for the Fall Winter 2020 fashion show, disrupting the toxic stereotypes that mold masculine gender identity. The contrast Peter Pan collar and smock embroidery on the front add a childhood inspired element, which ties to a recurrent theme of the collection.
Perfect: Fluidity. Toxic stereotypes. Masculine gender identity. And children thrown in there for good measure.
Here we are now, humanity. We're making Little House on the Prairie dresses for dudes and acting like it's mentally unhealthy to think there's anything wrong with that.
God help us.
What a time to be alive.
I know, but not in my budget. Maybe when it hits the outlet stores.......
Google “artists shit wiki”
If you put an expensive brand name on it, or have the right celebrity endorse it, you can sell shit for $150,000 - $220,000 per 30 grams in a can.
What’s the difference between a goofy man dress and Nike shoes made in a third world country using slave labor, with no EPA regulations, no OSHA standards, using child labor, in places that may not be friendly to the US and then selling them here for $100 - $250 a pair? Is it the plastic, foam, little bit of nylon and glue all worth maybe $2, or the mass production in these sweat shops worth maybe $5 per pair that makes them worth $100 - $250 a pair?
I have the money to waste on things like that, and I don’t. I cringe at the thought of spending my hard earned money on some bullshit that is valued at a price that is an order of magnitude higher that what it should be. They charge what they can, what the market will bear, given a demand produced my marketing the product, not on the materials, labor, R&D, etc.
Maybe that is the problem - the kids buying this junk didn’t earn that money, or it came very easy to them, so they have no problem letting it run through their fingers. What amounts to “waste” is not perceived by them. To them not having this product and all the other kids having it, or the neighbors having one of these, or a girlfriend one of those... (keeping up with the Jones’s) is what matters. But what they see as a need without which they feel disadvantaged (every kid getting free lunches in public school needs an iPhone or the most expensive Samsung) to me is a public announcement in how gullible, wasteful, shortsighted and ***misaligned*** their priorities are in life.
We are in a pure consumer society.
Mindless consumption.
Mass consumption.
Indiscriminate consumption.
“I consume, therefore I am.”
Don’t forget the codpiece.
That POS is one of the most evil people in world history.
Won't depend on my mood. I would be thrilled to watch them ride in mass through the rioters. I remember when they volunteered to go fight in Viet Nam. Of course they weren't allowed due to lack of discipline and possible indiscriminate killings.
They have become a shadow of themselves since they became a criminal organization and busted many times through LE infiltration. Still, think how glorious it would be plowing through the cowardly rioters while wearing their colors. Of course, they would be busted first. As always said, I don't advocate for the 1% outlaws, but what fun that could be to watch the BLM/Antifa scatter like the cock roaches they are. I wouldn't be surprised in local LE let's them just ride through. BTW, there are black members of the 1% types.
looks like something right up Justin Trudeau’s alley......
Price seems reasonable but I’ll probably wait for one to show up at Good Will—but only if it’s on the Men’s rack . . .
An aspiring star mom of a very pretty teenaged girl that had me pop some photos for had a very pretty red dress.
Me and the mom were talking a little. The dress was apparently a very high dollar type the year before. She got it a thrift store for a few bucks.
Gucci has to find customers who are both messed up and rich. How big could that market be?
Their market is the fags who work at twitter, google, etc.
I wear mine on St. Patrick’s Day and for Irish festivals, but I call it a kilt.
Is a singlet half of a doublet?
Well I meant it depends on the mood I’m in if I’d hit them or not.
I can’t tolerate nonsense.
That’s not being gay. I knew lots of gay guys from working in graphics depts in investment bank in NYC.
NONE every mentioned or had any desire to wear a dress. In fact, many try to look as buff and macho as possible.
It’s just straight guys showing their feminine side who would buy it and that could get my dander up on a given day.
But what you wrote about the Hell’s Angels was great :)
Would love to see them plow through too.
I’ve known a number of Italian gangsters growing up and if you don’t borrow from them, bet with them, buy narcotics from them...chances are you’ll be fine.
They’re bad guys. And they make/made the price of certain things go up, but if you avoided dealing with them, you were ok
Is that from Star Trek Discovery?
No, first season of ST:TNG.
Why homosexual men should not be in charge of “Fashion” for men or women.
No wonder certain people grew up to be leftists.
I tend to believe all the outlaw 1%ers have have gone deep since the HA and Mongols shootout in Laughlin some years back. They do their drug trade and meet at their closed sites, much like the old Mafia.
When riding my Harley in the 60's, I had a run-in with a sister club called the Satan's Slaves. I throttled a punk to the ground, but I had to run because their punk ass brothers came after me. None of them know how to fight man to man. It's always about gang kicking ass if anyone opposes them. They're scum and only care about themselves.
