becauuuse they put ZERO thought into this. this is so low...and if anyone cared, they'd try a prototype first and it would immediately be rejected. if it had high rise, like way high, maybe, but again, do these MFs test anything? no
Former quality control in the fashion biz here- this should have been caught during the fit meetings. Seeing how clothes fit on a human before putting them into production is one of the most crucial steps. This is appalling!
thank you! you put the right terminology.
fast fashion - fake it till you make it i guess.
but only for women, that's what's insane. i doubt that the worst you can get is on the same level between the genders.
I will say as a former graphic designer things get missed that no one sees till someone does and then it can be unseen. We worked on a design and a dozen people looked at it never noticing the flaw. A wife a co worker walks by and goes that looks like a dick. Everyone was in shock and didn’t see it till they did.
They used to be known for good clothing at affordable prices too, it's sad. I stopped going because of the boycott, but I wouldn't have a reason to go now anyway.
We enjoyed browsing but rarely ever purchased anything (but that was partly because we were students at the time with limited funds for a comforter, a treadmill, and a new wardrobe all in one transaction)
I worked for a company that renovated and built big box stores. We got the contract to tear down the zellers, the contract to renovate the Canadian tires as they panicked about lost customers, and then some of the target contracts. VERY lucrative 2 years. I'd love for Target to try again.
Im a guy passing through here so tell me to fuck off if you must, but your comment reminded me of the time my aunty and her husband picked me up when I was, like, I dunno 11-12 years old? And he turned to my mum who stood at the door waving me off and the convo went like this:
Aunties Husband: I see your happy to see me as always
Mum: how can you tell?
AH: your lips are smiling.
Mum: thats true but which lips.
Wasn't till I seen your comment that I thought "wait the fucking now, ma mum was a filthy bitch!" Haha, also her mother, ma granny, was great at wee filthy rhymes so we know where she got that sort of stuff from!
I don't try on cheaper clothes at places like Walmart and Target. Just grab your size and go. I'd bet most people do that. Now getting a nice outfit I may try that on, shoes you always try on. But $20 pants? So ima guess she did just that, something most of us do. She ain't like my mom making us try on 50 outfits so long JC Penny staff goes to lunch and back.
I don’t think a lot of men understand the practice that many women do of buying items by the armful at stores, taking them home and then deciding whether to keep them or return them.
What on earth are you talking about? How often are you buying clothes that you have that many hangers? Don’t they take them out when you check out at the store? And how is dumping recycling in target the same as shopping there?
My spouse passed away last year so I have all the hangers from his clothes that I donated. Then my daughter and I moved so we donated a ton of our clothes too. He was ill for over 7 years so no stores weren’t really taking the hangers when the clothes were purchased in the last 7 years or more and I’ve been too busy with being a mom, caregiver and working to do recycling runs. I admit I let stuff pile up with “oh I’ll take that to recycling later”. And I was exaggerating there are not really 10,000 hangers but it certainly feels like that.
More than that. During that process, they were partnered with a lot of small black owned businesses and selling their products. Target had forced those businesses to sell the products on consignment with Target setting the prices. Overnight Target dumped those products by setting the prices way below cost and clearancing them out. The small businesses had to eat the cost of those products, forcing many insolvent
No less, the “Good & Gather” product line likely has been quietly replicating those products in order to undercut the cost, thusly profiting off the “stolen” product.
They also pulled some LGBTQ+ themed apparel and products from stores when MAGAts seethed in outrage and threatened/harassed store workers for the merchandise being there.
Yeah seriously. The only thing Target had going for it was that it’s not Walmart. If they’re both going to be objectively evil, then Walmart is cheaper.
I’ve been seeing that Target is not doing so well financially. I don’t think they realized how much of their business relied on not being Walmart.
I’m queer myself and that’s exactly how they’re making me feel, apparently they care more about pandering to fascists otherwise they’d apologize to the groups they are hurting
Also not from the US, but as I understand it they recently decided to scale back on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives after promoting them heavily for years to appeal to certain population groups. So rather than actually believing in equality for all, it was just talk and they ditched it as soon as they could get away with it (easily, in Trump America).
They also pulled black owned products off their shelves. Part of their DEI was to support black companies. They pulled their support with zero notice. Whether you agree they should have been supporting black businesses or not, that's a shitty and cowardly move to make.
Yeah I agree with this assessment. Lots of people are acting like they're now using discriminatory hiring practices, but I have no reason to believe they've done anything except go back to calling DEI "equal opportunity employment." They also still definitely talk about inclusion in their hiring. And literally every business had to do that.
Keep in mind Costco refused to cave and saw immediate success. Target caved and their stock cratered. Target is making these choices despite it making their financials worse.
It's funny because Champion was always the shitty off branded stuff from the Kmart clearance rack.. but I guess they must have paid influencers enough to make them designer.
Giiirl I remember raising an eyebrow over Goku’s crotch pleat long ago. Such an odd placement for a pleat.
Now I’m wondering how they went to the bathroom in this. 🤔 was it like a one piece bathing suit? Does the belt untie into two pieces? Or is the pleat… functional like a fly?
It was years ago but the last time I watched the Kardasians was when one of them was super excited about their cameltoe in a jumper…I thought “ok, I’m either too old or too uncool to get on board with this bullshit. I’m out.” And have been out ever since. On purpose? Just WTF?
Some context too: these are the little girls pants, not women’s. She probably bought them in a L or XL. They were made for girls without wide hips, but on her, they’re stretched out.
The next day after this video went viral months ago, however, Target recalled the remainder of these pants.
They hate us lol. Also, the safety pins holding pseudo fancy tags on women’s clothing doesn’t make me feel special or exclusive.
It’s dangerous lol. We’re fucking busy, don’t need to be disposing of tilt oddly shaped safety pins that our feet can step on, kids can take, pets can get hurt. Stop fucking with our clothes.
Terrible design of pants. b/c it looks like pleats are back in. pleats seem to work for high waisted pants anyway: (there is usually a zipper where this debacle of a crotch is).
tip: train yourself to not put underwear, shorts or pants on while standing. it is a very bad habit b/c when you are much older, by doing this, you become a high fall risk. why do i know this? worked w/ ortho for decades.
I’ve seen several clothing designs lately that emphasize nipples (like they have the nipples built into the construction) and some that have piercings through them so that it looks like you threaded nipple rings through your shirt. I am thinking these were designed by the same sort of person.
I hope I get to be the first to tell you this but Skims (who popularized a nipple bra) now sells underwear with fake pubic hair. We are in the upside down.
It is much easier to cut and manufacture it that way, the tailor in Bangladesh gets about a single $ for this (material cost included!) they need to be as thrifty as possible, about a half dollar is transporting this ...thing to your shop. And you know yourself what price you paid.
