Do Americans even care about "old money" status markers anymore? I guess they do if the price is right at Target.

Lilly Pulitzer is not fashion. It is clothes

Oh.....meow!

Her clothes look perfect for Helen Roper of the TV series Three’s Company.

These would be just regular clothes in Hawaii.
Nothing unusual at all. Bright colors, prints, loose fitting. Perfect for tropical locations.

All she is doing is appropriating Hawaiian and South Pacific fashion for the whole country. I don’t think it’s really appropriate to dress like that in Boston, but to each his own.

I rather like styles (food, clothing, architecture, etc.) to be specific to a certain place or region. Otherwise you get Anywhere USA or Anywhere, Earth. No diversity at all when you travel.

I happen to love Pulitzer’s clothing, although I could never afford it.
As for marketing, the entire Target roll-out was over and done before I heard of it. Oh the irony!
I’d love to see how Robin Givens dresses, and......can anyone guess what Givens would think of Pulitzer’s line if Mooch wore it?

She’s been doing it since the 50’s . . . for beach and resort wear loud green and pink clothing. So it must be working. Besides, Lilly passed away in 2013 but her legacy continues on in the company she founded.

Not a fan of the Target frenzy with this or the Missoni or anything else. And I certainly wouldn’t pay triple the price for it on eBay.

How racially can a fashion article be? Apparently very much so. This Givhan “fashionista” has a significant chip on her shoulder.

It’s spring, after a long dreary, gray colorless winter. Spring clothes are pastelish and summer pallets bright and sunny. What’s the big deal? Bright, affordable, easily accessible (Target) clothing sold to the 97%

The “things” thst cause faux “outrage.” Pfffffft!

The only fashion that would look good on the authoress would be a burka. Hence the anger.

Robin Givhan’s remarks are founded in envy and class hatred. She tends not to like what is healthy, pretty, innocent, happy, or is appealing to successful funloving white women.
