role reversal: making the expensive look cheap

so... turning through the pages of one of my top favorite magazines "self service" issue number 29, i found that they make the innaccessible fashions of today (inaccessible as in not being able to afford ) look so main stream or cheap (in a good way)- actually just cool. i think that this is what the look of our century is all about, i tend to do this with my outfits.making expensive items look ordinary. anyways i like what they have done here. rather than blabbering on i will just let you look at the images for yourselves.


love this model and the necklace (balenciaga)


i love this look. it expresses my view on fashion as a whole, a refined corrupt look. taking overtly sexual or punkish looks and making them elegant. this look is by commes des garcons-its brilliantly completed with the chanel bag.


expensive shoes in ordinary settings..

refined dress (pricey little number), gone mainstream s&m

once again, this time alaia...check out the incredible detail

herve leger dress (i own many of these...the last of my expensive purchases---they are however so classic and useful..never will they ever be out of style)...

balenciaga jacket and latex dress (its nude and matches skin tone- can be found at online kink shops).

are we noticing a trend?


i want these shoes, they are like the ones above. sick!

these gloves are incredible, i love that they cut at the wrist.
