Miriam, I think what happened was Picasso and Dali were assimilated to fashion design and never left.

Fashion used to be an art form. Think the elegant Audrey Hepburn. No-one dresses like that any more. The fashions of today are grotesque, were never made to be worn by actual people, even rich people, and are designed to sell the designer’s perfume.

The American people dress appallingly. Little girls and teens dress like hookers, and everybody else is drab and sloppy.

I wait for the end of season sales at Dillard’s et al. Last year I bought a pair of $72 jeans for $12. And when my son got married I bought a lovely satin and lace dress marked down from $250 to $60. It’s called patience and determinaton. I refuse to spend huge amounts on clothes If it isn’t marked down 50%, I don’t spend a cent.

I’m not sure you could find a cute $25 frock even at Target these days. $50, maybe. Possibly a very, very lucky thrift-store find would net a cute (maybe even vintage!) $25 dress.

I believe I heard somewhere that Target was apparently contracting with designers to make some “fashionable” clothes at budget prices. (I just hope the designers in question weren’t people like Alexander McQueen.)

I dunno; most of the stuff that passes for high fashion passes me by, emotionally and style-wise. I don’t really care whether or not $25,000 dresses exist other than to remark that I could get a new car for that. And I know how to sew my own dresses.

it’s not as if the existence of a dress that costs as much as a car negates the availability of cute $25 frocks at Target.

And God knows Marie Antoinette’s cakes weren’t responsible for that curious bread shortage.
