    I'm sure the answer is "fashion" and I'm just not one to understand it, but why is the lady at 40 seconds in a dress that looks half finished?

      The pink outfit? I read it as supposed to invoke the look of a classic Chanel skirt-suit but with a .. fun twist .. so yea, fashion. But also a visual shorthand for the type of character she may be.

      Funny enough from your comment I was expecting something wayyy more extreme with distressed/unfinished edges or deconstructed, both recentish trends.

      Caveat: I'm not a genuine fashion guru, I just peruse the occasional fashiony blog to look at pretty things.

        My kid recently walked past a Guess jeans window and said a dress looks beyond Distressed, into Traumatized territory. Must be a rich person thing to try to flaunt an intentionally poor look. "My rags were designed to look rattier than your rags" kind of sick twist.

          'Beyond distressed, into traumatized territory' got an audible guffaw from me. I refuse to blame it on being Old™, I've never understood the appeal of buying new clothing pre-ripped. I'll wear it...

          'Beyond distressed, into traumatized territory' got an audible guffaw from me. I refuse to blame it on being Old™, I've never understood the appeal of buying new clothing pre-ripped. I'll wear it I out soon enough on my own!
