June 14th, I saw something horrifying.
We have had no more than 10 - OK, maybe 12 - days of lovely summer weather so far, after a crappy cold spring, and today I walked past a store window featuring the new fall / winter collection. The Marina Rinaldi store on avenue Victor Hugo, if anyone is interested.
Looks like dark jewel tone colors and jeans tucked into knee-high boots are coming back in the fall. Maybe *yawn*, maybe fair enough, it's a good look.
But today is June 14th, fashion merchandizing people. Summer has barely begun. And, more to the point, the summer collections don't even go on sale yet for another good three weeks. Give us a break. We are not ready for fall. I am not ready.
too bad the weather feels like fall again. But bad, bad retail people. We need to at least have the idea that we had some kind of summer!!
ReplyDeleteThat is just wrong.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it is quite handy that some stores here are already starting their summer sales(I'm sure these used to start in mid-July). Means can stock up on summer clothes cheaply!
