Maybe Forever 21 Could Hire some Designers

So, I hate Forever 21. I think anyone who knows anything about fashion feels the same way. I can't lie, I have bought things from the store in the past. They all fell apart the first time I wore them, but I did buy them. I definitely won't be shopping there again, though, now that I know what I know. The buggers keep ripping off designs and, you know, getting SUED as a result. Diane von Furstenburg (why would you even attempt to copy DVF), Gwen Stefani, Bebe, even Anthropologie (noooo not Anthro!) have all sued Forever 21 for copyright infringement. Can they maybe... Come up with their own designs? No? Then can they just die?
My favorite thing in the world, however, has changed. It used to be Amy's Tofu Vegetable Lasagna. Now it's Anna Sui's Forever 21-hating tee-shirt, which she had handed out at her Spring '08 fashion show. This tee-shirt is amazing.


The shirt depicts Don and Jin Chang, the Korean-American couple who established Forever 21 in 1984. The line "Thou Shalt not Steal" at the bottom of the bag references the company's devout Christianity. If you've shopped at Forever, you've noticed that printed on the bottom of each hideously yellow plastic bag is the phrase, "John 3:16". I love that Anna Sui totally made fun of that.
Long live Anna Sui. She is phenomenal.

Here are some looks from her line:
