I enjoyed listening to the panel discussion.

"how brutal it is to be in this industry", for whom? People on sweatshops?

[@myyoutube2251]

This is an unrelated question but if there wasn't a "205" on those Calvin Klein turtlenecks, would Stavros and the guy from I-D wear a very expensive mock turtleneck? I find it so hilarious that fashion has the ability to just make something cool and desirable with just a tiny number on the neck. Such power. So much power that it an editor of one of the most influential style magazines of all time will wear a black turtleneck with a number on it. And had he been given that same turtleneck with say the letters "ABC" on it, would he even give it a passing thought? Like is that the best black turtleneck ever? It's mind boggling and fascinating. I love/hate fashion.

[@louiswho]

I had no clue what the 205 was from/stood for but it totally caught my eye as well, it's a subtle but noticeable form of signaling that just tries to send the message "this turtleneck is something different/special, so maybe the person wearing it is special too?"

[@Stevejobs722]

You have not felt the materials of the turtleneck. The combination of both color and materials make it unique as well as the fit. The same reason why someone would buy a Jackson pollock over another random person who did some kind of splatter art.

[@myyoutube2251]

Sure. That's what I was wondering about. Is there something exceptional about that turtleneck and would they be wearing it without the logo on it. Kinda like how people are fooled into buying real champagne or say if your Jackson Pollock was actually just done by someone else: would it change the desire to have it or more importantly, to pay a lot of money for it and show it off?

[@EricLChen-dw9lt]

i feel like when you find the answer to this question you will finally understand fashion haha

[@MegaJkgh]

the first answer is The Answer, he had no clue what it stood for, but it caught his eyes.

All this talk of furniture design and they couldn't get these fools a foot stool? They're swinging their feet around like kindergartners on time out

[@runekristensen8877]
