Cut the Cougar Crap

Through the ages, women have never had a lack of complaints about the inequalities between men and women. Particularly when it comes to romance, dating and age, there's always been a lot to complain about. I wish I could say that I am not about to contribute to that litany of gripes, but oh no, I'm about to jump right in. So, this whole "Cougar" thing.

Helmut Lang and Rag & Bone Sample Sale

10 June 2009

Ladies, we all love a good deal but don’t bother with this one. While there’s plenty of Helmut Lang and Rag and Bone merchandise, it tends to be dozens of the same piece and very little variety. And it’s not the most exciting stuff from either brand. They really only had three of Helmut Lang’s sharp, minimalist dresses and only in grey or black. A few nice sweaters and dresses from Rag and Bone, but nothing to write home about.

I’ve been to sample sales at this showroom several times and this was the first time I experienced rude staff and lineups for the changing area (which are just hooks and mirrors behind a curtain). If you are going to get attitude from the people who work there, there had better be some amazing deals. That unfortunately wasn’t the case.

Everything there is reasonably priced though: Helmut Lang dresses are $129, Sweaters $99, Pants $99, tops $79, shorts $79, Rag and Bone sweaters are $79-99, denim $79,dresses $129, jackets $179. You may want to hit if you are a die hard fan of these brands, but don’t say you weren’t warned!
