Oh, yes. I'm a big fan of those stores! I just can't see paying full price for some of that stuff. When you pay full price, you really are buying the name. It's true that designer items are usually (notice I said USUALLY, not always) of better quality of material and workmanship, but the cost of making one of those articles of clothing is low compared to how much they sell for. One of the bad things about being a fashion major is that you can't go shopping without analyzing the quality of everything you try on, and I hate looking at price tags and thinking, "OMG, they're charging THAT when it probably only cost a few quid to make????" The designer stuff often comes out of the same factories as more reasonably-priced stuff, so I don't think I'd pay big bucks for a designer name...even if I did have the cash to afford it.
