Where do rich kids by their clothes from?

Why is so much hate directed at Hollister? Some people actually quite like the design of their clothes and their prices are hardly comparable to those found in these Italian boutiques.

Abercrombie and Fitch, Juicy Couture, Gucci, Prada etc. :smile:

Stores: Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Holt Renefrew, and Neiman Marcus :smile:

SAKS is amazing to run up all 7 floors:P I saw one dress I liked and it was $15,000; sad to say, I didn't get it....hmmm, I wonder why? lol:P

Hollister is $19.99 in Canada, so about 12 pounds :tongue:

But I do admit, I like their sweatshirts :smile:

That might be.
But when everyone starts wearing something, it loses its exclusiveness :smile:

This is not really a shop per say, but singer22 [http://www.singer22.com/] gives you all the celebrity clothing; it's really neat :smile:

how does going to a more expensive shop once in a while to treat yourself make you pathetic?
the only pathetic people are those who think like this

It was a definition quote, not my opinion. Saying that Hollister is a peasant make though, if anyone wants to gor for the rah preppy look you might aswell go for Jack Wills or A&F not the cheap version.

Jack wills, holister, abercrombie, all saints. Places like that? :s

Those are more like places where people who want to look rich shop at (you forgot Superdry in there).

Genuinely rich people would hit the designer shops (or at least the quasi-designer ones) and would probably avoid off-the-rack if they could afford to.

To be honest even stuff like louis vuitton, versace, armani, gucci, dolce & gabanna etc. are all pretty common and can be afforded by well-off middle class people.

From what I've seen, the really rich people buy their clothes from private designers from exclusive little boutiques. The clothes usually don't have a badge or logo on them, they're plain...but they're really some limited edition piece from a designer's line.

Why? Because of the exclusivity, they're almost sure not to find any other person wearing the same thing...or even knowing where to buy it from.

It's the same with cosmetics, when you get all these celebrities doing adverts about how they use l'oreal and all that. *******s. These products and brands are for the masses. They wear and use products that are so exclusive only special clients are aware of their existence.

For the posh uni kids -

A&F, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren and Jack Wills seem to be the 'in-thing'.

I have seen the occasional Hermes, Gucci, Prada and D&G people.

A&F

Why do people keep saying A+F? it isn't for rich kids at all, it is commoners clothing :tongue:

I'd admit that they have the odd nice thing but it isn't for richies :smile:

Hollister is a total peasants shop and all saints is pretty cheap which is why so many people wear it.

Allsaints is expensive, I don't know if you've been in Glasgow recently at all, but the huge new one in buchanan street I went in, and their sale stuff was still dearer than normal shops. I'll stick to topshop and river island :biggrin:
