R U in Style?

there isn’t much to say about RU Style as that their t-shirts and their show were mostly forgettable. RU Style’s t-shirts contained elaborate prints like spades, virgin mary, rock and roll roses and golden tigers. they felt too much like Ed Hardy wannabes. however, there was one shirt that was memorable - a male tee imprinted with a Chinese take-out box with a caption of “take me out” followed by a phone number. there were some BeBe-like hoodies that shouted out “R U Style” with huge imprinted logos.

male photographers whistled on a model who strutted her stuff down the runway in nothing but a hoodie and black tights. isn’t it a underlying fashion rule that wearing tights alone is a definite fashion crime? certainly, it’s unarguable that these shirts are practical and wearable, but there was a shortness of creativity. otherwise, thanks to the models for adding some interest to the show with their often unique poses to make up for the more or less unmemorable designs.
