So difficult to resist scoffing at what people deem 'fashion' or 'designer' once again, Lee Cooper anyone?

Is St Bernards a Designer Label?

Technically - Yes. Colloquially - No.

okay .... well I've changed my mind ... I think it's just Leisurewear on the label now ...

Great pants ... great cords ... not too bothered about their other stuff though.

(what does Colloquially mean?)

Bally do great mens accessories , but alas they're no more in Dublin.

OfflerCrocGod · 11-11-2004 12:16am

I make my own clothes out hemp sacks. Fashion by Offler.

Abercrombie and Fitch
American Eagle
Tommy Hilfiger
Hugo Boss

Some of my favs

ionapaul · 11-11-2004 2:12pm

I'm WAAAAAAY too tight with my money to spend much on clothes, but I do like most of Banana Republic's mens range. Got a 3/4 length black woolen / cashmere jacket in Winter '02 - now every tool and his brother are poncing around Dublin in similar jackets!
Would always buy something there, and in the Gap, while I'm in the States.

Whatever you reckon! You don't see the new St. Bernard collection going down a catwalk in Milan / Paris / London / NY, do you! Miss Sixty does!

Which proves my point - Miss Sixty IS a designer label.

Some other person here said their favs were A&F, AE, T Hilfiger, etc. and if they are regarded as designer labels, then so is Miss S.

Different strokes, different folks!

I really like gucci handbags, some lv bags though not the monogram. As for women's designer clothes - well I was really looking forward to BTs 2 floor opening for Joseph etc though i wasn't uber impressed when there.

i think i'll wait for harvey nicks. should check out Coast (i know that this isn't a designer) but their stuff is good

rainbow kirby · 11-11-2004 5:17pm

Not a fan of designer clothes. Too expensive for what you get.

That would be me

I don't know if they are classed as designer labels or not, but they are clothes that I like and buy.
Can only get Abercrombie and American Eagle gear in the states. Abercrombie charge $25 for international shipping. If it wasn't so expensive I would buy it online.
I don't really buy Dunnes, Pennys, M&S clothes or anything like that.

Cavman · 12-11-2004 1:27am

I think diesel is pretty cool, they have slick jeans a tad expensive but if you want it you'll buy it,also the polo jeans are starting to get alot more trendy as
aposed to there range a few months ago which would just have their logo,
boss have some nice shirts but their not as popular as they were,burberby
have cool polo shirts and shirts.

That's fair enough but I'd regard Miss Sity as kinda casual studentywear whereas something designer as luxurious and covetable. Miss Sixty is hardly exclusive.

jonny68 · 12-11-2004 5:10pm

Asked my bird who`s well in the know about birds designer labels,said Miss Sixty is not a designer label as such but they do have like a diffusion line or something that is pretty expensive..cant believe some of the labels mentioned here that people have said are designer,Hifliger do me a favour,sure every scum bag around wears that,it might be the bees knees in America but not here!!

Labels like Armani,Paul Smith,CP Company,Armand Basi,Versace Couture,Prada Sport,etc,etc are all extremly stylish,id be well more into European labels as opposed to American labels..... :cool:

tinkerbell · 17-11-2004 4:06pm

I'm gonna add to this - Ugg.

Ugg footwear rawwks, and they do nifty handbags now to match as well, wahoo for gorgeous Australian footwear that cosies up your feet

Ugg or Urgh ? Uggs are Fash/App 2003, apparently it's all about Mukluks now.
Get your search on ladys; I've already tracked mine down in London and they're furry beige beauties !

Uggs ain't out of fashion! And I wouldn't exactly call those Mukluks things fashion - they are hideous!! :eek:

ManAboutTown · 17-11-2004 9:32pm

My favourite label is armani - so there!

IrishMike · 17-11-2004 9:44pm

Sweet mother of god if you pay 400 odd euro for those then you need your head examined
They are monstrous

Aurther Hugh · 18-11-2004 2:17pm

I'm not looking for opinions on my shoes. Check your fashion press, any commentator worth their salt will agree. Uggs are over!

rainbow kirby · 18-11-2004 7:15pm

Don't really feel like breaking my proud record of never spending my own money on crappy 'fashion' magazines, ads every second page and pretentious rubbush for content.
And Uggs were always nasty anyway. Especially when people wear them over jeans with a poncho. Can anyone say fashion victim?

dudara · 18-11-2004 7:21pm

Uggs and anything similiar are just downright nasty. (my opinion, no bad rep please). Actually, if anyone here is really into their shoes check out a brand called "Irregular Choice". I own five pairs already and would buy ten more if I had the money

tinkerbell · 18-11-2004 8:00pm

Irregular Choice have lovely items of footwear

I love my Uggs, they are the short lilac Uggs, only on the market a month, they are soooo cosy and warm on my feet, and comfortable - I'd rather wear comfortable booties than be limping around on stilleto high heels any day!

dudara · 19-11-2004 11:34am

booties

that's exactly it!! My grandmother used to wear booties.

I'm of the opinion, that whatever footwear you prefer, it should emphasise and shape your feet and legs. Uggs don't. They make legs look like tree tunks.

rainbow kirby · 19-11-2004 3:12pm

Irregular Choice are feckin deadly!
I don't have any at the moment, but they're so pretty!
/me wants...

mentalimplosion · 19-11-2004 9:48pm

not that i could afford any of it.. but i do love Alberta Feretti for dresses and Gina do great shoes.

shivface · 28-11-2004 6:01pm

oh i love irregular choice too, and undergrounds as well, so comfy and way better than uggs and muckluks or whatever those nasty things are called

mentalimplosion · 28-11-2004 6:16pm

according to the sunday times style magazine (which is always right. always), mukluks are NOT the new uggs. which is just as well, because i'd probably gouge my eyes out if i had to see 38273 pairs of imitation mukluks on a load of wannabe fashionistas everytime i walked down grafton street.

Piste · 28-11-2004 9:41pm

What is the deal with Abercrombie and Fitch? It seems like everyone I know is trying to get one. They're perfectly normal hoodies but with 'Abercrombie' printed across them for an outrageous price, wtf?

mentalimplosion · 28-11-2004 10:39pm

abercrombie is cool among certain people (ie, preppy dublin4heads) because it shows that you holiday in america, thus are rich, and that you're cool enough to have something that preppy americans (who are, like, three rungs up from preppy d4heads) also have. same with stuff like juicy couture and tommy hilfiger before it came to the likes of TK Maxx.

some of the abercrombie stuff is ok, if you're into that sort of thing.

DannyAu-Yeung · 29-11-2004 1:33am

Maharishi, Stussy, Energie and Bathing Ape are probably my fav labels.

as far as i'm concerned, anyone who is 'into' labels as much as you has a serious self confidence problem.
