Memo to WSJ: Leave the Trendspotting to Us
Today’s Wall St. Journal touts:
“One of the hippest designs showing up on must-have fashion lists for spring doesn’t come from Prada or Marc Jacobs. Instead, it is a line of vintage T-shirts emblazoned with a McDonald’s logo.”
Exactly which “must have fashion lists” are featuring the golden arches? None from Papierdoll, that’s for sure.
Further reading illuminates the muddy circumstances surrounding this supposed craze:
“A recent issue of Ellegirl magazine features McDonald’s T-shirts on its ‘HotPotato’ list of must-have items. The April issue of In Touch magazine features a photo of ‘Sopranos’ star Jamie-Lynn Sigler wearing a ‘Big Mac Attack’ T-shirt.”
So, a magazine whose production has recently been halted and the spokeswoman for the National Eating Disorders Association say McD’s tees are cool, and that is supposed to be authoritative?
Yeah, I’m sure Gemma Ward is shoving a Quarter Pounder down her gullet this very second.
