Call The Fashion Police On Gucci Already!

In This Article:

"You Gucci?" The luxury Italian brand has become almost synonymous with something good or okay. During the summer you couldn't go more than five minutes on a radio station without hearing the song Gucci Gang at least once. Yet, I've never seen anyone wearing anything Gucci. I've heard of one guy buying a Gucci belt and trying to show it off, but other than that there's been nothing Gucci in my life. Why is that? Is it that the outrageous prices turn people away? No. It's because Gucci's style is weirdly reminiscent of the time you were five years old and playing dresses up in you grandmother's closet. There are items on their website so ugly I cringe thinking about the poor soul who was beguiled into buying it just because of the brand attached to it.

Striped Faux Fur Coat $9,300

What kind of animal were they trying to go for?

Real fur coats are bad. Faux fur coats are better, but at what cost?

Gold and Silver Sequin Top $5,200

Yes that shirt with that skirt? Perfect.

Alexandra Michalski

When Yukon Cornelius said he was looking for silver and gold I'm not sure this is what he meant...

Balaclava Knit Top $890

Me walking to class in -10 degree weather.

Alexandra Michalski

You know, for those days when you want to wear a turtleneck and a ski mask but be able to still eat your sandwich on your way to class.

Oversize Sweatshirt With Zebra Print $1,280

My mother would cry if I walked out the house looking like this.

Alexandra Michalski

The eighties are coming back with a vengeance.

Bugs Bunny Suede Vest with Patches $4,950

Why? Just why?

Alexandra Michalski

I dare you to wear this exact outfit to class. Exactly as is. It's the epitome of fashion!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
