Well me neither, but that’s just us. What do we know? We’re so basic.<\/p>\n

Spending $974 would be a small price to pay for broadcasting to the world that we are edgy, daring and hostile.<\/p>\n

Actually, if you’re following fashion as neurotically as I do, you’ll know that all anyone cares about right now is the perfect low-top white sneaker. You have to get a very special kind that’s so Nothing, you can’t figure out why it costs $395 or $695, depending on whether it’s Common Projects<\/strong> or Raf Simons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You will wear your perfect white sneakers with your shapeless minimalist shroud by The Row<\/strong>, or your cropped flare jeans by Frame<\/strong> or Mother<\/strong> that hit your leg at just the right part of your calf to look especially, calculatedly, awkward. And you’ll be carrying a nondescript handbag by Mansur Gavriel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Or,<\/em> you can just wear some oversized streetwear by Vetements<\/a> that only other idiots will recognize, because Kanye.<\/p>\n

Fashion is so monumentally irritating!<\/p>\n

How do fashion bloggers and magazine editors keep up their enthusiasm? Fashion is so loaded with class signifiers and mindless imitation and sweatshop slavery. You can’t set your own trend unless you’re Rihanna. Everybody tries to wear what everybody is wearing, because otherwise you’ll look like a know-nothing who can’t keep up or afford to emulate a Rhinoceros.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m wearing a pair of black cords by Paige Jeans<\/strong> and a silk shirt by Equipment.<\/strong> You won’t know how cool I am unless you read a lot of fashion shit, but trust me. I got them at Salvation Army or Goodwill, which only shows how devoted I am to my coolness and label-whoring.<\/p>\n

Now, if all this means nothing to you, I salute you! You’re my fucking hero.<\/p>\n

And I offer you these banana shoes by Dolce & Gabbana<\/strong>, priced to sell at a reasonable $1,745.<\/p>\n
