on wardrobes

Dear brands and labels,

If organizing my closet weren't so daunting I'd tripple my fashion shopping, which means more $$$ for you! SMARTEN UP! Get on with designing some major hi-tech wardrobe/ laundry systems, kay?

Love,
Connie

MP on cnn

"When they tell me something won't sell, that is when I want to make it"

"I wanted to make rich materials look poor, and poor materials look rich"

"Everyone who is smart says they hate fashion, that it's such a waste of time. I have asked many super-serious people, 'Then why is fashion so popular?' Nobody can answer that question...I make clothes. It's silly. But it's my job"

Even back when miuccia prada was a member of the communist party, she confesses to wearing YSL while protesting. Like her interivews, she never seem to stray far from the contradictions in her work and life.

Recently spotted in an article on New York Magazine "The Cut", is this Opening Ceremony floral mens shirt




...strangely familiar?





The print is an identical replica to the shirt in my blog posting from September of last year. Now, one can't help but wonder about the source of the pattern!?!!
