@Meacham, enjoy your Aero! It's gonna be awesome.
Stand By knows the score; the 'voice' in which things are written is almost never the 'voice' you read it in. I was being tongue-in-cheek.
But I was being serious when I described this as cynical fashion industry behavior. My wife loves the movie The Devil Wears Prada. There's one scene in that film that is inspired, and everyone should watch. In a moment of absolutely honest clarity that I can't believe studios allowed into the script of a movie that celebrates the vacuous fashion industry, Meryl Streep explains to Anne Hathaway the origin of her bargain bin sweater. It's absolutely one of the most cutting, politically incorrect moments in cinema history, and the movie is worth watching just for that.
THEN come back and look at the Zara jacket and try to tell me with a straight face that this has anything to do with awareness of WWII.
@Ton, yeah Zara makes clothes for really slim men because they don't want 'fat people' ruining their brand image. Also, a couple of years ago, they gave up on traditional 'seasons' of clothing, and now introduce new items every two weeks all year round because they learned that people have such empty lives that going to the shops has become recreational, so people were going the stores for lack of anything else to do.
Someone did research on Zara's strategy, it really is the 'McDonaldization' of fashion.
