Hey New York Times, let’s have a quick chat.
Your Year in Ideas package was brilliant. Awesome. Like totally freak me out. Except for this one little thing:
You’re calling Heritage Chic the year’s biggest fashion phenom. Pendleton x Opening Ceremony is your big example. You end the article with a quote that says, “It’s not a trend, it’s more like a style. It’s basics.”
But your own internet is contradicting you, NYT! Just a few short clicks to the Opening Ceremony website, and you’ll see 34 styles of your beloved Heritage Chic - from OC x Pendleton, no less! - is on sale. Major sale. Get-this-stuff-out-of-the-store sale.
Is it because the stuff is insanely cool, but also tres cher?
Sure, that’s a big part of it. But before you run around calling something the fashion idea of the year, maybe you should check and see if your readers have actually bought any of it?
Just a thought. Also a thought: The red lipstick on this model is killer.
