Russian model Sasha Pivovarova for H&M Fall 2009
This happened yesterday, after a long day of ogling some really really beyond great pieces from a lot of different labels, like Acne, Neil Barrett, Lanvin, Raf Simons, Rick Owens, Givenchy and etc. We finally made our way to H&M to buy the things we could truly afford and steal obtain three copies of H&M magazine on the way (Mmm… Marina Linchuk in underwear!).
The store at the time was as usual crowded with a swamp of people and amongst which, we spotted a woman, with a larger-than-her Miu Miu paper bag under her arm, struggling to squeeze through the rather tightly spaced racks in the sea of people to check out a particular extraordinaire of her taste. The sight of it was so ridiculously hilarious that it poked out my mean bone, as I spoke to my friend in English thinking that the “glamorous” owner of the fore-mentioned label would not understand a word coming from a certain blabber mouth, which spoke inconsiderately of her daring cynical thoughts: some stuff hailing from a certain peachy-pink label is just made of 100% cheese. Just as the word “overrated” was emphasised, the woman suddenly turned to look at us, took flight in a rather slapdash fashion and was gone with her overpowering big bag of goodies in a matter of microseconds. Well… Walls have ears and without the walls, oops…
At the time, I didn’t really care for her feelings, because I was jealous that she had so much money to feed the sharks instead of saving the adorable polar bears in the North Pole I knew precisely assumed that her triump of the day was unworthy of praises. However, afterwards, I did feel a little bad about this. I guess one of the things I learnt and realised even more from this experience is that fashion is about mixing the high with the low; and I need to learn to appreciate the style, not the price. For sure, H&M offers a great variety of pieces, that might not last forever, but still, it assists to create an incredible individual style of your own. Nonetheless, being in a country, which is flooded with fake and counterfeited products, I just cannot help but make the worst assumption and crucify the alleged fashion victim.
