I think a few years back it was all about LV and Coach. Every women I see these days have something from D & G. So what's going to be the new fad brand in the next few years?
 
dolche gabana I think? also I have absolutely no idea what is 'in' nor do I care, all that shit is way too expensive and it looks pretty similar to 'bargain' brands

Dolce & Gabbana, I imagine. I can't keep up with fashion myself, so I have no idea why I know that.

Just clothes in general? I bet walmart brand is more about 10 times more popular then d&g when comparing sales.
 
Meh, D&G has some ugly bag designers. LV and Coach will always be popular, just like Hermes, Balenciaga, Bally, Marc Jacobs (newish), Prada, Chloe, Valentino, etc.

Once again, be careful with the word popular. If price is part of the equation, then none of those will ever be popular.
 
"I used to be 'with it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary."
 
Sadly, I knew exactly what D&G meant. However, I'm married, which is what saved me from punching myself in my own balls repeatedly.

LOL, wha? I'm pretty sure you and everyone else can figure out what "popular" means here.

Odd.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You make a lot of assumptions with that claim. A lot of these brands you speak of are "cool" because they are usually quality goods at a very high price point. The fact that they carry a high price point keeps them from being popular. If they were popular, then they wouldn't be special, and thus people with larger bank accounts (or credit cards) would not be so willing to overpay for them.

If you ask an average American about what they buy, none of these brands will be popular. Some may desire them, but a lot of it is artificial inflation of worth through advertising and word of mouth. Certainly these are not items for the common person, which is a highly suggested theme with the word popular.

Now, because you know of all of these brands, it's possible that you are immersed in a social culture where these are popular. That doesn't make it true for everyone everywhere though.

The notion of popularity is that of desiring, but not necessarily obtaining an item etc.

popular (regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public) "a popular tourist attraction"; "a popular girl"; "cabbage patch dolls are no longer popular"

LOL, I just don't even know where you're coming from with all this. But okay!

*pats you on the head*

*grabs small step stool first*
 
And I can find the following definitions:

Suited to or intended for the general masses of people;
Suited to the means of ordinary people; not expensive;
Regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general;

Once again, there is a false hype that brands like Coach build about themselves. People buy into it, and the ones who feel like they can afford it purchase it. One of the companies even has a higher tier of product not much different then their regular line but about 5x more expensive with an even larger hype.
