2. The jacket looks expensive
It's well cut and fits her well.
The pants don't look that great to me. She has thin thighs and the pants are too loose around the hip/upper thigh area. The pants would probably look better on a girl with a little more meat in that area.

3. I'd wear this outfit (with different shoes)
And I have the recommended meat in the pertinent area to pull it off!

4. Silk is expensive.
And it is Armani.

5. Expensive clothes
I wouldn't be caught alive in those pants, but the jacket, absolutely.

6. Is this a new trend, wrinkly fly on pants?
Why have all that elaborate embroidery if you're drawing attention to a wrinkly fly? :)

9. No idea about the clothes, however
she sure does look like she needs to eat a few good meals. Dayum, she's gaunt!

10. The jacket, while pretty, cost more than my car.
The pants are fucking ugly.

In any case, I wouldn't buy either at a tenth of the price, since they're silk. :puke:

11. The pants are atrocious; the rest is passable...
though something like it could be had for under $100 at Target, I suppose...

13. I don't know. I'm focused on how someone should give her a sandwich.
She looks ill and poorly nourished.

15. This model looks like she forgot her pants this morning
Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 07:48 PM by distantearlywarning
She put on her nice suit jacket and left her pj bottoms on.

In all seriousness, I kind of like the jacket. The pants, however, are atrocious. They really do look like the bottom half of a pajama set (a set I wouldn't buy because they look like they were new in maybe 1973 or thereabouts). They also look ill-tailored around the waist area, and are about 3-4 inches too long. I wouldn't pay .50 for them in a thrift store, much less three and a half thousand dollars. I also think her shoes kind of look like those gold tennis shoes that little old ladies sometimes wear with pant suits.

ON EDIT: And yes, somebody really needs to feed this model a cheeseburger or 50.

That they'd feel they were "worth" this?

17. It's Armani. Sort of like taking a Toyota, slapping a Lexus badge
on it, and selling it for 3 or 4 times the price. Reality can be a bit of a bitch.

Labels sell (cuz folks are stupid, sometimes).

18. $3,450 for pants and they didn't taylor them? Look at how badly
the rise fits her.

19. Maybe she's just so skinny that
Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 10:15 PM by distantearlywarning
they don't actually have a pair in a size small enough to fit her properly.

Seriously, doesn't it kind of look like they were made for someone about 4 sizes bigger than she is? The waist part is all baggy around the thighs and they're too long. Although I'm not sure who they were expecting to wear these pants that might be taller than this model - she looks like she's about 6 feet tall. These must be pants designed for members of the WNBA or something.
