"Today Weekend" style section : Wrong Stuff for Wrong Crowd?
-
Style section of "Today Weekend". Looks nice, but check out the price tags. $2k for a dress? $1.2k Alexander McQueen shoes..?
The average worker takes home less than that per month!
Do they even know their audience..?
Is the paper targeted at the masses, or just the upmarket crowd? You don't have to spend a bomb to look stylish.... those prices just make them appear so unattainable, and gives the false impression that our average earnings are that high.. to what end!

tts why there are always inspired-bys tt u can afford
wat they rec or intro in papers or mags is not relli u must buy anyway
u can just read as reference for the current trend
even if u can afford, the piece may not look good on u oso
do u expect them to feature BV $10/pc dresses every week? -
Nah, not for this kind of publication. They're featuring high fashion, there's a big difference. It ain't Tatler. The pieces should go up to a few hundred, tops.

u said it, the paper is for the masses
sometimes they intro cheapo stuff, for u
sometimes they intro high end stuff, for those who read tatler oso
catering to diff levels
if this issue is not ur cake, then dun eat it -
LOL, babe. It's not the issue of whether or not we can "eat" it. I can very well afford what they've featured up there, but I'm not so far removed from the rest of society not to be able to see that those luxury brands don't belong in that particular publication. It doesn't accurately reflect the times, and our society.
But if I'm mistaken and everyone thinks like you do, we-heh-ll, good luck to all of us :-)
