Fashion
Outrage!
The new line
from Goobana and Dulce has the world of fashion reeling.
Goobana and Dulce
the most influential designers in the world, released their new line "le
normal" in Milan this week. The beauty world is still trembling from
it's impact.
"I just
can't believe this is happening" sniffed Vague editor Jessica
Thompson after the show where she was recovering in a local emergency room
"This is irresponsible."
Happy Woman tried
to obtain photos of the line that is set to topple the toggery world, but
the images were seized by fashion authorities at the border.
Goobana
and Dulce Representative Receives Death Threats
We were able
to talk to a heavily guarded representative of Goobana and Dulce on the condition
that we not reveal his name or his whereabouts.
"We were
not trying to revolutionize the world, we just wanted to create apparel for
'normal' women.
"Our models
were carefully selected professional women aged 35-70. They were all at a
healthy weight and were between 5'4 - 5' 6 inches tall. We insisted that they
not wear make-up and that they style their own hair to suit themselves.
"We thought
it made good business sense to make clothes that women could actually wear
and we still believe it. We have been absolutely swamped with orders, but
we were not prepared for this outcry. We didn't think it would be such a bit
deal."
Diet Industry
Impact
"Not a big
deal?" snorts diet industry expert Tiffany Amber White. "It may
not seem like a big deal to them, but to us it is deadly serious. This industry is a billion dollar one. Thousands of people could be out
of work.
"If they
manipulate women into believing that's it's OK to carry around a few extra
pounds this whole business could collapse. To give you an idea: men all ready
think it's OK to weigh a little more than the average consequently the men's
diet and fashion industry is in the toilet.
"I hope
Goobana and Dulce will be able to sleep at night with thousands of personal
trainers roaming the streets looking for work. It'll be like Oklahoma in the
thirties."
