 via Neiman Marcus. $296.00.Still wondering how Juicy Couture shows up at Neiman Marcus. Anyone?  posted:5.16.08 filed under:  via Neiman Marcus. $350.00.Q: OK, I'm confused...I've been looking to your site for months to guide me to becoming a magnificent bastard. Recently you said velvet blazers are a trend that's run its course. To my dismay, a magazine I consider on the forefront of men's style (Details) says the velvet blazer is a fall/winter essential.

A: Part of being a Magnificent Bastard is thinking for yourself, and here's a good opportunity. But before you decide, consider this: each month the writers at Details have to crank out a certain amount of words to fill up the magazine. On the other hand, magnificentbastard.com posts only when we've got something to say, even if it's a fantastical story about a French president's flag pin. Not to mention, it's a well known fact that Dan Peres, editor of Details, has been taking payouts from the VBIA (Velvet Blazer Industry Association) since he took the job. posted:11.8.07 filed under: via Saks Fifth Avenue. $168.00.Regular readers know our disdain for Juicy Couture, yet their wares somehow still show up at Barney's Co-Op and Saks, poisoning two of our favorite retailers' collections, like turds in a punchbowl. We're pretty sure they've reached the height of suckitude (or perhaps explosive diarrhea in a punchbowl?) with this barbed wire sweater, which reminded us of the bicep barbed wire tattoos that were so cool 7 or 8 years ago ... never. posted:9.28.07 filed under: via Neiman Marcus. $175.00.Skulls are about as post-peak as you can get without wearing an American flag lapel pin, yet Juicy Couture still cranks out skull-related stuff like they're coming into style. Even the New York Times called skulls dead over a year ago. Unless you're an actual pirate, or child, avoid.
Juicy Couture skull blazer and skull necklace, via Neiman Marcus. posted:8.27.07 filed under: via Bloomingdale's. $117.00.Juicy Couture's slide toward brand oblivion isn't helped by this disastrous camo short triple play:
1. Linen. It sucks.
2. Long. 24" inseam a bit much, closer to slacks.
3. Camo. So 2006.
Even though they're on sale (surprise!), avoid. posted:7.18.07 filed under:
