Ugh, don't they realize that the majority of people who actually read Vogue avoid shopping at Wal-Mart?
IMO the kind of people who can afford to spend that much money on a Vogue (more than your average magazine) can also afford to shop somewhere other than Wal-Mart.
Not to be a snob, but the lowest I go is Target...and I refuse to buy clothes even there (because I am a bitch sometimes ).

But one thing in the article really boggles the mind: "Tommy Hilfiger would give Wal-Mart an entry into the rarefied world of designer chic"
Huh? Since when does Tommy Hilfiger belong in a "rarified world of designer chic"? It's just your average crappy prep as far as I'm concerned, and it's not even that high quality or executed very well.

OMG, I was going to post JUST THAT LINE, before I saw your post!
Welcome to the 90's. What are they smoking?
Anyway, Walmart must die. It's the most exploitive, non-human capitalist enterprise.
(And for the record, I'll admit I have a soft spot for preppy looks... Only it can be done so much better.)
Preppy looks were only in the mainstream mags. It was all "urban" wear in stores, but by Y2K black people realized that they don't need a white guy to tell them what to wear and he was replaced by Phat Farm, FUBU, etc...

I refuse to go to Wal-Mart as well, because of their business practices. My income is such that I probably should be shopping there, but I'd rather go without/make things stretch until I can afford it elsewhere. And I do think their clothes are hideous in design and quality. I shop at Target for household goods, the occasional dvd, etc, but the only clothes I've ever purchased there are teeshirts for sleeping. They are better quality than Wal-Mart, and you can find some quite nice things for your home at Target.
Anyway, my point in responding to this post was that there are people who are in a Walmart/Target income bracket and still enjoy reading Vogue and find a way to afford it. It's expensive on the newsstands, yes, but I got my year's subscription for $10 - and since I shop at Target for some things, I can afford that Just because you're poor/in a lower income bracket/forced to shop at a big store, doesn't mean you can't have/recognize style. You don't have to be able to afford to purchase the clothing to appreciate or love it

I buy designer, yet I still shop at Wal-Mart. I prefer Target, if we're choosing... but if it's a late night and I have the urge to do some shopping, I'll head to Wal-Mart. Sometimes they have what the moms and pops stores don't, so I don't feel all that horrible about going corporate.
This article also highlights how low Hilfiger is going. I was kind of bummed when IM decided to go with Target, but I almost saw this coming for Tommy. His brand has been in trouble for a while now...

Haven't they done enough by putting little businesses out?
