Okay...
You simply must go by and check this site out....
Iffyton High Street
Yes I know, printed t-shirts are a particularly difficult style once you go over 50 (even through I, personally love them - to me when done right, they are truly portable art!), you have to love how this website has been designed!

Speaking of Marc J.....
The Chicago Tribune has an article on him today.....
Marc's over it -- Designer Marc Jacobs emerges from tabloid fires hotter than ever
All his personal issues aside, I think that he and his business partner Robert Duffy are a couple of the smartest and more far-sighted minds in the fashion business today. They have seen clearly what Isaac M. saw many years ago - that there is a desire for good design across the economic strata if only it can be made available at the right price point.
The only difference seems to be that at the time Isaac took it on the chin (and to a certain extent still does - just see some of the responses to his just cut deal with Liz Claiborne)for daring to make a deal with Target to bring his clothes to what the fashion intelligentsia obvious felt at the time - and many probably still feel -- are the undeserving un-washed masses.
Marc J., thankfully, seems to be escaping that for now -- probably because the idea of designing up and down the price scale is just old news now.
Still I don't see a lot of designers approaching this strategy with the kind of clear, unapologetic intent that Jacobs and Duffy are. I would suggest, in a world where dollars are becoming tighter and tighter, that could prove to be a major mistake.

I think Joanne....
Over at Second City Style might have hit the nail on the head when it comes to the iteration of celebrity "designers"...
Fashion Manifesto: Why Celebrities Should End Their Affair with Fashion Design
What do you think?
(Don't get me wrong...I have found pieces of some worth in some of these celebrity lines (see my review of the M by Madonna line). But I too find it disturbing that celebrity lines are taking up the air that those who are truly designing clothing could be breathing - and perhaps coming up with truly innovative designs.)

What, is he a mind reader?......
The little fashion geek knows my secret!!!
And probably yours too!
His post is actually about the state of fashion design in India -- but his reflections on why we bother with fashion at all can apply anywhere to anyone of us who loves fashion in spite of our good sense and better judgement.
