Brand Whores are a new genre of homo sapiens in the fashion world that is spotted sporting the craziest accessories that any brand in the world will produce. Born out of an extreme strain, a cross between the brand-obsessed and the fashion victims, these people are the answer when you look at a trend and wonder, God! who would ever buy this? From celebrities to the hoi-polloi, let's look at these 8 fashion-victimizing brands!
It is not rare that an average joe would go out of the way to sport a high end fashion label, but when a celebrity decides to pop out of a high end shopping bag with the label name on top, we know this is no ordinary brand. When Posh Beckham decided to shoot her version of the absurd theatre for Marc Jacobs, we had a classic fashion victim moment. For someone who is hand in glove with the designer, she really did not need to show her lust for the brand this badly unless she agreed to being shown as an obsessed fashionista!
How food meets fashion is beyond me but that it is happening is for everyone to see! McDonalds, arguably the most famous/infamous burger joint in the world, trickled its way into the fashion industry. Tshirts that play on its slogan, I am loving it , and mimic its iconic alphabet M are a rage; face painting to look like Ronald, the ambassador-figure of McDonalds, is a rampant sight! If you are, in fact, what you eat then this would be a reason good enough to sport a McDonalds t shirt! For the ones who love it a bit more than the others, face paint might come in handy for Halloween next year!
Now only god and the guys pictured here would know the connect between a musical appliance and haircuts. I bet it is another way of showing the love for their favorite technological fruit - Apple. From iPod ear plugs that are no longer a rare sight, they have made their way to our heads, quite literally so!
The signature plaid pattern that Burberry represents can be spotted from across the room effortlessly; from iPod to fashion accessories, Burberry has pretty much been there done that! It's too bad that you can't afford a burberry because apparently this goose can (with a bit of effort from photoshop I guess all of us do!)! Gives you goosebumps, doesn't it?
Models! please make way for the bottles! They are not just your ordinary good old bottles by the way, they are none other than the curvy-at-the-right-places, coca cola bottles. It depresses me that names like Moschino and Alberta Ferreti would choose to dress coke bottles over girls but then they don't belong to the most popular brand in the world! This fashion show took place in Italy, September 2009, where 8 Italian designers decided to raise funds for earthquake victims in an unprecendented fashion!
From Audrey Hepburn to Audrey Tautou, there isn't one diva untouched by the magic of Chanel. The mention of Chanel is never complete without bringing up their classic suits. In varied colours, Chanel vintage suits are the touchstone of feminine fashion the worldover. This range of furniture features upholstery that is inspired by the same chanel suit and every Chanel fanatic would so want to bring this one home!
Lanvin, the French, the fabulous, the fashion-forward fashion house has left a mark on its fan following! The simple philosophy to explain the tattoo is that if you cannot afford it, why don't you engrave it? There couldn't possibly be a more permanent way to show your love. But for the ones who can afford to buy Lanvin should go for the ankle high sneakers that are woven with real pearls! How you might want to run in these pretty, pearly sporty shoes is beyond me but then if you can afford these, I am sure you can pay someone else to run for you too!
Louis Vuitton, everyone likes everyone to think that they have one but only a few carry the real thing! For a brand that is sported more in its fake, replicated versions, LV has held its own for centuries now. The need to have a LV is so pressing that people put it everywhere you can think of, from toilet papers to car papers and trashbags, wherever LV can be, it is.
