“Forever 21 isn’t about fashion any more than fast food is about cuisine. The addictive component is kicky shapes at price points you can find beneath the cushions on your couch, and the fact that you can buy 37 clothing items for under $200. If it’s the slow-food, slow-clothes, minimalist approach of “less but better” you want in a wardrobe, you’d best skip this Times Square monstrosity and bugger off to Europe. Forever 21 is a shrine to the American obsession with More New Stuff. Suppress any thoughts of faraway places of horror; at these crazy prices, you can’t afford not to fence your grandma’s VCR and buy more neat tops.”

What a stuck up bitch. I hope she’s writing similar articles about American Apparel stores, or basically any store with mass marketed merchandise.
Also, what clothing isn’t ”disposable?”

Isn’t this the same awful woman who wrote the pearl-clutching piece about JC Penney opening in midtown? Does this woman never learn from fall-out? Jesus.
I’m not saying Forever 21 is a paragon of how to conduct your clothing business, or whatever. But the sentiment above is like, way gross. “You can’t afford not to fence your grandma’s VCR”? Wait, seriously? She was seriously allowed to write that? Because what that means, what she means, is that not only are the people who shop at Forever 21 trashy, superficial, and materialist (oh, so she’s only the latter two, I guess), they are potential criminals. Nice.

I Shop at Forever 21, Does that mean im trashy. I also shop at other stores. I dont feel that people whom shop at Forever 21 should be singled out but someone with to small of a brain to realize that most stores are mass marketed merchendise. STFU
