Shame that this is what Gant has become. I know that styles change. Brands, labels evolve, but it does not mean that they should become silly. This line looks like a costume more than clothes for a mature audience.

And when will this workboot/whitesunglasses shit die?

These people look like they got dressed in the dark.; 16 March, 2012 17:31
Oyster Guy said...: GSV, I am not sure this shit is going to die anytime soon. This is the demographic that is spending money right now. If you are somewhat older, and retirement is is not so far off anymore, you're cutting back. Interest rates don't provide income anymore nor are they likely too anytime soon. It's the younger kids who think they have time to party who are buying stuff now.

Or maybe some people just need clothes more interesting than themselves.; 17 March, 2012 13:08

You just screwed me outta a Gant ad. But it was worth it.; 17 March, 2012 15:04
Anonymous said...: Or restated, more stupid looking than they are. There. Now there's no chance of that ad.

Is Bastian making you rethink Berlin hipsters?; 17 March, 2012 19:25
The Bovina Bloviator said...: I wonder if Gant, which, if I recall correctly, in its heyday was on the dowdier side of Brooks Brothers, attempts expiation by proffering the silliness seen here.; 18 March, 2012 00:08
