fashion is one of the most annoying thing about today's society. at the start of the year it was those head scarves, then it was quifs and stomach belts.. now its those crappy plastic headbands!! theyre everywhere!! conformatism to the max...... when will they have the innititive to realise that theyre not the latest fashion, they have been around forever AND the fact that THEY ARE NOT COOL!

also.. shoot the people at supre.. they look like walking errotic (and extremely thin) trendie dolls

and where can i purchase one of these erotic dolls

supre.. theyre everywhere. im sure theyre so desperate to get into any person's pants that walks in the store. just look at their merchandise!

Yay, The Aquabats are on the job!


Oh Noes! The Aquabats have become Fashion Zombies themselves. hehe hidden text

(That video is for The Aquabats song 'Fasion Zombies!' for their album 'Charge!!')

I strongly dislike supre except for when i need a plain coloured tank top ( always need them for some werid reason)

Other than that i dont understand why they charge $40 or something for a peice of material

especially when that piece of material barely covers your boobs/ass

I'm proud of myself

My favourite outfit cost me around $40

Black T-shirt = 3 bucks
Old Jeans = 15 bucks
shoes = 25 bucks

well done... yeh i love my bargin shopping too.. i got a pair of 100 dollar jeans for 20 dollars... so so good..

yeah, i paid $10 for my black jeans
that, at the time, were sold for $120.
But i know the guy that owns the store so im not sure it counts.

there is nothing wrong with wearing "expensive clothing" everything i wear is over 70 dollers and i dont think that makes me a conformist, i work for my money and il bloodly well wear what i want to wear, if what i wear makes me happy i dont care that its expensive, thats why i bought it, and frankly saying that just because people "follow" trends they are conformist's, is just judgmental, how do you know that they dont like and enjoy what they wear same as you do, and by saying "eh im not gonna get any of there clothes i wanna be origanal il go to savers and get cheap stuff" your as big a conformist as they are, i mean all your doing is conforming to not being a conformist, the second somthing becomes popular "eh thats crap, if other people like it its crap"

well screw you, and another thing, quif's are awesome, no shit they have been around along time, they have been around since the 50s, just becuase people get them doesnt mean they are trying to be new, i have friends with quifs and iv had a quif aswell.



also i think the lastest trend should be taterd clothing and pale skin, maybe bloodshot eyes, open flesh wounds has always been apealing.
over grown toe nails and taterd hair is also good, join the zombie revolotion.


also, ROCK ON SKY!!!

you? had a quif??? okay..... strange...

no way.
kits style rocks the casbah!
LONG LIVE THE QUIFF.

you had a quif kit?!

very briefly, back when my hair was shorter so it looked kinda crapy on me, but now that my hair is long! mwahahahhaha!

its gonna be as hot as a dead chick who cant keep her stomach down =D

Trendie definition:

A trendie is someone who wears denim or tracksuits and named clothes such as FCUK, some smoke, some do not, most of these Trendies get on with Chavs, Townies, Punks, Greebos and anyone alike, they do hold grudges against anyone. They listen to dance music and rnb.

I think its more of an english thing. I don't think it works for the girls from supre. I think they're called, what's that name again....oh right, sluts.

Meh - I dont think all fashion victims are bad.
Some just do it cos it makes them feel better about themselves. It fills up that empty hold inside of them that yearns for love =)
While I disagree with a life based around fashion, and judging others because of it - I dont think everybody's that bad.

Who knows - fashion's always changing. People might, too.

Fashion isn't bad (it's actually quite fabulous darling). Bad fashion is bad.

Take a look a real fashion, and compare that to the trash you get in Highpoint's Supre. We're not all bad. And we still happen to like the clothes we wear. A great stylist said to me that the trendiest people know how to pull off every style, with their own individual take.

But why not just do the individual take and get rid of the styles all together?

Styles give us the template where we can diverge from and expand upon.

That doesn't make sense.

The Chavs and Townies hate the Greebos and Punks.

It's all fucking stupid though.

My rant is that fluro tracksuit pants have to be the most ridculaous fashion trend. Friday after school I went to go have a hot chocolate at the shopping mall with some friends and I couldnt belive how many teenagers wear them. Stores charge $90 for A PAIR OF TRACKSUIT PANTS (which fade horribly).

Remembering back to days in year 8 I made a pair of tracksuit pants overall? I think it cost me $6 for material. They are a complete rip off.

I was also browseing at a shop called Dangerfield in the city with my friend looking for a jacket. There on display was a flannelet (flanny) shirt. They were charging $89.95! it also had a tiny logo at the bottom right of the shirt that you could hardly even see. Now I know you can walk to your local coles and buy almost the same thing for $5.

What fashion trends do you hate?
What do you think is a complete rip off?

I'm no fan of any trends. I wear what I'm comfortable in and that's just it, I don't care if it's "so last year" I like it and that's all that matters.

argh! those stupid plastic headbands! people attempt to play netball in them and they fall off and shatter on the court- theyre now banned from being on the netball court.

as for other fashion- mum and i went shopping a bit today and we kept on seeing these dresses that look like sacks.. or as my mum described them "pregnant dresses". they have no shape.. no class.. and no awesome pattern.. just some boring grey colour. eeew.

mum buys my clothes, so i dont care what i wear!

yeah I detest those sack-dress thingys. They generally have some stupid slogan across them like the name of a retro song or something. It's just icky.

and yet people will fork out the $99.95 for em.

You have got to be kidding me. I practically never go clothes shopping so I wouldn't have the faintest clue, but I wouldn't pay more that $5 for one of those ugly things.

im not a fan of the "open toe" heel.
they might look good in the pictures and shops but NO toes look good crammed out of a little hole at the end of a shoe.

ps. for anyone who is wondering what the hell i am on about

depending on where you go, the most plain thing imaginable can cost prices like that.

Hey maybe people find purple toes attractive

and it makes for easy acsess if i decide to bite em off

I will have to admit i have the crime of having one of those dresses loz!

The difference is I bought mine for a whole $9.95

still a rip off IMO

its true.

i can find a sack at the market for free

how about that 'carrot' fake tan?
its a trend that just refuses to go away.

fake tan is stupid. peroid.

you dont look tanned

you look like an idiot.

I think people who use fake tan are idiots.

There is a group at my school and they all went and got fake tan before the deb. In the big deb photo of our year there is just a patch of orange. It looks awful.

no surprise there! i once umpired a team full of orange girls with fake tans.. it was hilarious!

but yes- i also remembered these: i hate those damned supre` tshirts that have stupid slogans such as "love you long time" and "i love my boyfriend" theyre just so... BLAH!!! idiotic!! BAD GRAMMER TO THE MAX! who on earth says "love you long time" eh?

lol i always assumed "me love you long time" was a reference to 'Full Metal Jacket' where there is a Vietnamese prostitute that says something like that.

maybe im completely wrong, espcially considering that the movie isn't really lighthearted fun for the whole family

I wanna see a glow in the dark fake tan, make em easy to sta...find in the dark

nah, your right CH!MP, everythings rips off that.

I once saw a popular brand white plain target looking tshirt, no logo no nothing.

Guess how much it cost? $120

Talk about rip off!!

One of my friends found an almost new Hugo Boss suit in an Op Shop. Guess how much it cost??? 20 bucks!!,

now who is getting ripped off???

I'm down with the bloody ribbons around people's forheads, but if you want to look like a wanker, go right ahead!!!

We know that you want to look hippy cool, but really, it just makes the blondies blonder (no offence to smart blondes)

Sack dresses, are we talking about pinafores? I'm not entirely sure.
The supre' shirts are rather hideous, but they arent all bad. I think having stuff about Global Warming on them is a good way to get kids to be aware of the issue.

As for fake tans.. Basically my whole school has them. Its terrible. The other day I saw my friend Brooke and I SWEAR she was a carrot.

I really dont like the little half jackets that cut just underneath the boobs. They are sooo unflattering!!

I basically just wear shirts and jeans and occasionaly dresses.

I agree lily. I dress for comfort. The only time I ever feel uncoftable would be for my social, formal and my deb night which was by far the worst considring none of us could breathe .

this is a demeaning, inflammatory thread...i'm actually offended by most of it.
half the crap a lot of you are saying is no less superficial than the trendies you stereotype. and i read... bad fashion is bad? ok, so because someone is wearing two different tones of grey they are a victim? they need help? the clothes on their back are so horrible that they must be inferior?
oh and omg, i paid $300 for a pair of jeans. automatically i must be a trendie. and im stupid for paying for it. find me that exact pair cheaper elsewhere. find it in an op shop. because you wont. before you all launch into clothing expense arguments, think about it. why the hell do you think shops like edge have 150% mark ups while shops like target have markups of about 5%? it makes more sense if you think about it economically or from a business perspective. on top of that, you will also find that many items in the high price range are superior goods (in the economic sense, not the im so much better sense).

get the hell over yourselves.

My question is what's so special about that pair of jeans? I've never had trouble with my $30 pairs.


Is it because Target has more customers? Or perhaps Targets products are more expensive to begin with (which I seriously doubt)? Either way what difference does it make, if you accept the product only costs 40% of what you're paying why would you pay that much? (oh just thought of another possible reason - what edge sells can only be got at Edge (as in they have monopoly)?)


Can you please just explain this in words with three syllables or less, I got confused

i dress for comfort too.. and those stupid jackets you're thinking of lily are called boleros.. and i hate them too....

Because $300 jeans last 10 times longer than $30 jeans?
It's all the work of cheap labour and almost identical materials. I agree that branded stuff is a rip off but like most people, i have well-known brand clothes.

I do agree with kiki for the greater part tho. I don't think the majority of people buy clothes so they can act like they're better than everyone else. If you happen to like expensive stuff then that should be fine. I'm so sick of the "im an individual" attitude of everyone. It's bullshit. And you don't all dress simply for comfort. That's just not true because taste comes into it.
I don't think anyone should make assumptions that people wearing trendie clothes are insecure or deeply troubled or anything like that. God forbid someone actually likes clothes that are expensive or popular. Oh no, they shouldn't get those clothes because then they will be conformist robots. gimme a break. Most "trendie" people wouldn't have such sinister motives as some of you would suggest.

Anyway, I don't think there is much use taking pot-shots at people who wear coloured headbands or fluero tracksuit pants, even though i don't like them. lol @ ugg boots (is that with one G or 2?)

Firstly, just a note to say I'm merging the "Expensive rip offs" thread with this one, cause it's pretty much the same thing being talked about.

Gotta say I'm with kiki on this (Edit: and now CH!MP too!)

With the thinking behind a lot of the posts in this thread and the expensive rip offs thread, why don't we all just dress up in cotton rags and material sacks? I mean, that's essentially what we're all paying for, right? Why skip the whole production process? It's just an unnecessary waste of money! Gosh, we're being ripped off, here!

I'm not saying buying cheap is a bad thing. It may very well be the most practical thing to do. And although I agree that those sack dresses have set back the fashion industry almost as much as Ashlee Simpson's career has set back the music industry, all I'm saying is that people who buy expensive clothes shouldn't be judged for it - the same way the scene junkies and rich kids shouldn't judge others who choose to do their shopping at Target. Unless of course it's Ashlee Simpson we're judging. Then you can judge.

Being a label junkie myself, I pay at least $50 AUD (about $42 USD) for most of my t-shirts. Why?





Cause it's what I'm comfortable in. I don't buy for the hell of it, or because of some trend. I know they're expensive and I'm pretty selective in what I buy. If I liked a pair of jeans, I would buy them regardless. That goes for $30 jeans and $200 jeans. It just so happens a lot of the stuff I end up liking is a tad more expensive than the cheaper alternatives. Doesn't make me a horrible person who lacks money spending discipline, it just means I have a different taste to yours. Until I or any of the scene junkies who pay $90 for sacks with sloppy slogans on them actually come up to you and say "HA, my clothes are better than yours!" I don't see what the big deal is and why the need for a hippy clothing revolution is being summoned.

And before you call me nuts for buying $75 t-shirts from Mooks when I could easily pay $10 for a plain white tee at Target, lemme ask you guys this. How many of you own an iPod instead of a cheap $30 mp3 player or walkman? It's the exact same thing. Just as I choose to do a little name brand shopping with clothes, people (including most of you) pay hundreds of dollars to have an iPod, even when faced with a much cheaper alternative that essentially does the same thing. Why? Cause they're sleeker. They're shinier. iPods are basically the same as any other mp3 player. It's just in a pretty package. And it's okay to treat yourself and feel a little pretty!

As I said I'm yet to have any trouble with them, no rips and no colour fading that I can notice.



Comfort is more than just how "comfortable" a particular item but how comfortable you are wearing it; I dress for my comfort.

Edit, evil posted:

Not me, I have what I like to call my poor man's ipod - a MP3 CD player that I got for $25, I'd love a Hard disk based MP3 Player but there's only like 3 on the market (ipod, zen and iRiver as far as I know) and all are quite expensive and none of them I'm completely satisfied with.
