Copycats.

A lot of girls I know look stupid celebrity magazines to see what's in, what's popular, and what they should rush to buy next. I think this is horribly, horribly, stupid.

If I look to something to get inspiration for clothing, I either look to editorial spreads that are rather avant garde, or look to some of the real "it girls" of the past decades. Edie Sedgwick is an example of one of my favorite real girls.

I see girls looking at Mary Kate Olsen and swooning over her "original" and "vintage" style. First off, a style cannot be original and vintage at the same time, that contradicts itself. Sure, I like the Olsen's for being brave and going into the fashion industry when all the high designers pretty much laughed at them, I think that's swell. However, please remember that nothing is new, everything has been done, and being original is a difficult task to master. If you look to ANYONE for inspiration, no matter how creative you are, you are looking at something that has been done before and not gaining anything completely new and untouched.

Mary Kate Olsen has listed Edie Sedgwick as one of her style inspirations. End of story. Please stop idolizing celebrities, no matter if they are designers or not, and basing your entire wardrobe off what they wear each week.
