First cycle accessories line launches in TopShop

good idea really great to see people in the know backing it as well

Ace.

Having an opinion does not equate to trolling. i don't care what star studded resumes they have, it doesnt stop the idea being pretentious and indicative of the perversion, in London especially, of every sub culture having a giangantic capitalist machine meddling with it.

Clearly, then, a number of people here are exactly the style conscious people I identified.

But slagging something off, directly after a number of people have said that they are friends of the designers is not just having an opinion - it's being a thoughtless, tactless knob.

The 'gigantic capitalist machine' is, in this case, as in many others, giving a massive break and support to a young start-up company. Topshop has not started selling 'campogoglio' cycle caps, they aren't just ripping something off - they are supporting something new.

And FFS - how do you think fashion and culture work? Small, underground, 'street' movements grow bigger and get appropriated into the mainstream, leading to more divergence at the bottom. Music, fashion, art - all the same.

That's it. I'm out.

pm - These aren't a creation of Topshop - they are being stocked** in** Topshop.
If you knew anything about (younger) womens fashion you might not be so negative about this.

Top marks Prav, P-M it's called a concession.

mmm.. liking the girl on the right. Actually liking them all.[/quote]

Ahhhhh bottom right is Minh Ai... My borthers better half so eyes off ; )

And, all this aside, how can anyone claim those girls in that photo look anything but imbecelic?

hahahah! it's working PM.

All the boys should pass this on their girlfriends! The Cyclodelic girls are doing a grand job and the more girls there are on the road, looking confident and feeling fabulous, the better.

+1

When I say 'gigantic capitalist machine' I refer not to Top Shop's support or any additional funding, but the system's desire itself to squeeze all soul out of human activity by filling it will consumerism.

I think we can all admit this shite isn't necessary, just a continuing vulgarisation of modern existence. All subcultures, like this, are guilty of simply being a different version of the britney spears followers, westlife fans, or dickheads who go and buy mulberry bags.

Having one gear does not preclude this you know.

I can. They look great, in at the start of something big, wearing clothes that you can imagine people wearing on a normal day. It'll convince a lot of people, including women, that they can cycle. Now we're just waiting for the winter range ... ;)

There are already enough women on the streets daydreaming while riding bikes through heavy traffic, though. :)

This forum is just all about mutual cock sucking.

Ok. You go first.

Ok. You go first.

Surely it has become apparent by now I am self centered?

Smart, really clever.

Autofellatio ftw!

The blonde with the shades on - the others can get fucked

Like bras, shades can hide a lot of barbarity, though.

There is no 'system'.

And no, thank you, we cannot all admit this is shite isn't necessary. As posted by a number of female cyclists in this thread - there is a lack of decent female-specific cycle clothing available. I know you are trying to stretch the argument into a general consumerist one, but you were specific about this launch being bullshit, and you are wrong.

I have no idea what you mean by the last couple of sentences.

i get the felling you're single.
and you will be for a long time.
do you still live with your Mum?

i doubt they have bras on.

He's not a tree

Do I not speak the truth?

You can never tell what a breast is like until it is unsheathed from its receptacle.

The same is true of something that covers half ones face.

i doubt they have bras on.

Well, they're just asking for it then

i doubt they have bras on.

Bloody bohemians.
