Knock-It-Off Zara...Please


Dear Zara,

If you're trolling the web looking for ideas on what you should knock-off or be inspired by for the upcoming fall season, please take note of my top 5 picks that deserve your attention.

Given that it takes you less than a month to "reimagine" these designs, have them produced in the not-warring parts of Ukraine or Tunisia and have them displayed on a mannequin in your 5th avenue stores in NYC, I think that my letter to you has a chance of influencing what you put in stores this fall.

If you need further reasons to compel you why these deserve to be adapted for the masses, here's a quickie:

1. Neil Barrett Lightning Sweatshirt: Every man-child loves lightning. This makes it acceptable and even cool to admit it.

2. Dolce & Gabbana Side Panel Trousers: These are the most versatile pants ever. Dress it up or down, it goes with everything.

3. Kenzo V-Panel Button Up Shirt: It's interesting without being weird.

4. Christopher Raeburn Quilted Toggle Coat: I mean, talk about a new classic coat. This is da bomb.

5. Valentino Studded Oxfords: Sneakers as a trend kind of died this summer, at least for me. It's time to break up with Nike and move on to a new love for Valentino. These shoes make a statement.

YES
Dear Zara, help make this Christmas the best-dressed version of me yet.

NO
You don't have to make everything on this list, but if wouldn't hurt.

MAYBE
I should also send this open letter to H&M, Target, etc. Yup, I went there.
