Okay, for the record, the green fabric you're seeing on the current winter collection for Zavesa was grey when I designed it. It was supposed to be a sophisticated palette of red and neutrals, not the Christmas nightmare that just showed up on the racks.

If you already bought one of the affected pieces and removed the price tag and/or threw away your receipt, contact me and I'll see what I can do about arranging for an exchange or store credit.

If, for some reason, you want to hold onto it for an upcoming holiday party, be my guest. Please just do me a favor and cut out the tag.

Thank you.

How unfortunate... This is precisely why I refused to work in any colored mediums for the time being.

[windowdressing]

Yes, well. Now that I know this is an issue, I'll be more cautious about my use of greys in the future.

[liberal_arts]

It's the best anyone can expect in this situation. Dealing with the textile arts is quite a bit different than ink or paint.

[windowdressing]

It has a lot more potential for humiliation, for one.

[liberal_arts]

Ah, there there. What's one bad dress, hmm?

[adoringpast]

oh my god

yeah now that i think about it, a lot of new outfits right now would look atrocious because of the colors comings back now
even worse was the other models who don't have the app can't find anything wrong with the shit they're wearing for fashion shows
so annoying

[windowdressing]

Ugh. How does this even work, are they just going to remember them always looking like this?

[adoringpast]

not sure
since the phemonenon that usually occurs because of the app are usually for its userbase only
so naturally the ones who don't have the app won't find anything wrong with it
they'd just treat it as if it's a normal everyday thing
weird, i know

[windowdressing]

So I can't try to pass this off as a manufacturer error because they won't be able to see that there's an error in the first place.

Nice.

[coinflipped]

Maybe you should keep the one with green in it on market just in case someone decides to run an ugly Christmas dress contest.

[So, here's one asshole's unsolicited opinion that no one wants.]

[windowdressing]

Oh, shut up.

[ Just... resting his head in his hands over here... ]

It's not like I'll be able to pull them all immediately anyway, so anyone who actually wants one has at least a few days to get it.

I'm not enabling any further than that.

[coinflipped]

Won't you lose out on all that money? You must have spent a good amount trying to get that dress out, so why not keep it out while also putting out the dress you intended?

[He doesn't get fashion. He's just thinking about the cost effectiveness, tbh.]

[windowdressing]

Yes, and I really don't want to think about how much it is. But I'm pretty sure that continuing to sell something that hideous would do irreparable damage to my brand and end up costing me just as much in the long run.

Maybe I can get the stores to donate the existing stock to women's shelters to make it look like some kind of holiday charity act or something.

[floret]

That happened to my towels, too!! It's terrible!

[windowdressing]

My condolences, but... really not on the same level.

[floret]

That's true.

I just thought maybe it'd be nice to know you weren't alone.

[windowdressing]

Thanks.

[Ohhhh yikes. He's under his real name as Theo, luckily, but he does do a quick check of his wardrobe as Kestrel.]

Glad I haven't gotten any new clothes lately

Getting this app kind of wrecked everything for artists, huh?

[windowdressing]

Pretty much. The one week I've had this thing on my phone has already been one of the more frustrating weeks of my life.

[ He also just turned 30 in that previous week so he was probably going to be in a bad mood regardless, but. ]

I wasted most of this afternoon looking back through pictures of previous collections to make sure nothing else I designed had pulled this stupid chameleon act on me.

[lienhearts]

Sounds rough

It sounds like it's been this way for a while... But then again, I didn't even notice for most of that time anyway

[windowdressing]

Yeah. It is.

I can't believe we didn't notice that entire colors were missing, especially in this industry. I'm trying to remember what color wheels even looked like a month ago, were we just pretending that yellow and red didn't have complementary colors? Or that almost everything was opposite some shade of purple?

[anguinous]

[ ... Ah. Laurent hadn't considered that this sort of thing would happen, but it makes absolute sense. ]

It does rather look like an intentionally festive choice. Pass it off as something else? Autumnal, green going to red? I'm sure some people will like it regardless.

[windowdressing]

I mean, if it was intentionally festive it would be seasonally appropriate. The pre-fall season was already over by the beginning of October.

So I... suppose it's not the worst it could be.

[anguinous]

If it was March it might be harder to excuse, but I think you can get away with it. How many of them are there?

[windowdressing]

700 was the initial order.
