right now it would seem that zara, above any other "affordable" shop on michigan avenue, has their finger on the pulse of what i'm looking for in fashion. modern, sleek lines, with a decent weight to their fabric.
there seems to be a confidence to their vision, which is sadly lacking at most retailers, that try to play for every taste, but end up having no point of view. the actual designer that is probably getting bit the most right now is celine or stella mccartney. usually i wouldn't name-check either of those as my favorite designer, but in terms of what can be copied well for a low price-point.... couture details never translate well. convicted tailoring, on the other hand...
in terms of zara's tailoring, i will admit that they cut for a slim figure. i can't fit into their smallest size. several of their items were produced in one size only - M. i know they don't have garments for bigger girls.
