Porn straps and velvet ribbons

I decided to wander out to the shops today, just to see what's in store for the new season. Much more subdued, colours are darker and overall look is less boho and more bespoke. Reminded me of an article Nik brought up over the weekend about how luxury brands are redefining luxury via even more exclusive channels (like handstitched suits and handtooled hardware) and I guess high street fashion is happily tagging along where it can. MNG has even released an 'exclusive' range (limited editions) that's already sold out when I went there today, and MAC has just launched their Tailormade limited edition range (which, by the way, has been pimped all over eBay for the last three weeks following the sold-out US launch). Topshop also has an exclusive range that you can only buy online (no, they don't ship here) and many other brands are jumping on the wagon. I wonder, when Limited Edition becomes a norm, will it still be Limited? After all, in the fashion world, money can buy anything.

I dunno, I'm quite happy with my eBay finds.. and with the Ringgit unpegged.. even happier!
