OMG! STOP THE PRESSES!!! Because it just can’t be. I know it would sound insane and idiotic if I print it, but it appears that NOT everyone is in love with the stylistic endeavors of the self-made fashion divas, also known as The Kardashian Sisters.
Jon Caramanica, a fashion critic who happens to write for the Fashion & Style section of The New York Times has stood up and voiced his extreme dislike for the newly-opened Kardashian boutique, DASH NYC.
And by extreme dislike, I mean to say he describes the joint creation of fashionistas Kim, Khloé and Kourtney as “a fashion desert, just oodles of drapey cowl necks and embellished cap sleeves and synthetic fibers.” OUCH!
As if that isn’t graphically-horrid enough, Caramanica continues, “Clothes are essentially split into two categories of fit: vacuum-sealed and hot-air balloon.”
Caramanica reiterates the feelings of one of his co-critics by calling the pricey fashion “high-end knock-offs–which is to say, overpriced knockoffs of already overpriced things.” Continuing on his warpath, he says, “Some items were baffling. Even Khloé on her worst pre-marriage day might have struggled with the pink fur shrug ($484).”
Things go from bad to worse in the review. Referring to a $430 hat, the fashonista critic comments: “You could wear this look, in the same way you could hire an enthusiastic 5-year-old as your stylist.”
You can read more of the review for yourself – I don’t have the heart to summarize the review more than I already have!
They say there is no such thing as bad press. So, I wonder if this review will be the nail in the coffin for the latest location of this chain retail store or if it ends up piquing the interest of otherwise not-so-inclined consumers to go looking. Only time will tell.
But don’t feel too bad for the K sisters. They do just fine financially without the aid of DASH NYC. Each of the three sisters made the top ten highest money-earning reality stars, raking in an estimated total of $11 million.
