True style is about perfect fit, quality workmanship, sturdy materials and balance of design. People spend so much time obsessing over brand names, that they often overlook quality and end up with brand named junk. When you shop for high-end labels, know you are paying for models, commercials ads, and hype. The average markup for fashion items is a lofty 400%! I know. I am a fashion designer.
It shouldn’t cost a pretty penny to look good if you have a true eye for style. For those of you less fortunate, I have compiled a few high end designers with a new low end price point:
