met with a blanc stare

I'm not nearly as intrigued by the second round of Gap's Design Editions, featuring collaborations with Phillip Lim, Michael Bastian, Threeasfour, Phillip Crangi, and Band of Outsiders, as I was the first time. Thakoon, Doo.ri and Rodarte's collections were far more interesting.

Threeasfour did a passably charming dress -



But I had hoped to see more.

Phillip Lim did quite a few shirts, but they were boring, save for this one -



Which might inspire me to pop down for a look at the shops, but then it might not.

I also liked this Phillip Crangi necklace -



But it leads me to my next point - US$78 to US$88 for the clothes and $35 t0 US$45, is it really worth the money? The quality better be impressive, since the clothes are not.
