Haha you know how all the ‘glorified saleswomen’ hate the word ‘influencer’ but happy to be ‘content creator’…still lol at BB thinking she is under visual arts, just because everything has shadow/underexposed doesn’t mean it is art. Yawn
She's like Hugo on Love Island, Sex Less
Yeah like she went to art school, worked retail and worked odd jobs, then became an influencer. JUST OWN THAT.
It's like how Estee Lalonde started calling herself a creative director. Insulting to those with actual creative jobs.
I've got a high school friend whose title on insta is graphic designer/illustrator, she literally traces over photos and gets paid. Meanwhile my pleb ass works in-house, at a massive company, gets pennies because I refuse to play the social media game. Been working in the field for nearly 10 years. I used to share art on deviantart 15+ years ago for my own enjoyment, pre social media. Can you tell I'm bitter? Haha.

Anyone gets the irk whenever she does the hand wave thing 
Constipated comment holding true...
She's a fan away from being in a boy band.
I like her align collection, but those images are like fraud.
Take this for example, https://aligne.co/collections/britt...coat-black-herringbone?variant=41017191760027, the one that BB wore was so heavily edited with stupid lightning, it looks brown while the one on the website is black (same coat)

it's like those shein photos where you know it looks nothing like the garment you're actually going to get
@jaymie, yeah, I noticed that too - colors are way off in virtually every shot - and in the shirt she looks like she's about to vomit b/c they didn't isolate the color adjustment to the shirt, her yellowish skin looks jaundiced.
I think the aligne collection looks cool b/c of the way she's styled it and the faux colors. The brownish shades are unusual and, to me, very British (Barbourish) but in more current design iterations. And Britney (or the photographer/editor) is on to something there, they knew it looked better this way. Except the actual products aren't those interesting shades at all.
In reality, it's extremely basic design in bog standard color combinations (Christmas green/black, black and white etc.) with odd proportions (particularly on her) - elasticated waist middie skirt, matching top that hangs on her, frumpy dirndl dress, a boring liner jacket (too late to the party for being so basic), flat looking denim which, denim fit/details are tricky for a non-denim specific design team. In my experience, denim bought from brands who don't specialize somewhat in it - hit or miss - mainly miss.
It's a bit Alexa Chung on a budget but doesn't have the unique point of view and details. I love that aligne seem to genuinely incorporate sustainable practices without overselling that fact - it doesn't appear to be greenwashing. Britney does make it look more interesting but the consumer is going to be disappointed with the product if they think it looks like her photos. I still appreciate the effort and you could make the individual pieces work.
What do you think about her unpredictable release of any content? The time lapse seems to be increasing too and I suspect she's conflicted about the whole thing. She had said when getting the studio space that this was going to organize her and every Monday she'd release something this way and be on it. Doesn't appear that is happening...

Well said!
When I saw it on BB, I thought oh nice, is a nice grandpa brown but the actual product is black
She’s too busy going on vacation

Me too!
Same! I was so glad to see the brown colour coat. Is not something that the market currently offer
me three! I think they can do a lookbook out of her, but to put her pictures as part of the product is frankly misleading.
Pretty much retail 101 getting product accurately displayed, otherwise you're gonna get a ton of complaints. I understand for a look book warmer looks nice but fix the white balance! In the other photos (especially from behind) the jacket looks sad.
I feel like you guys might really this video. I found it exceptionally interesting and like this presenter so much. Luxury fashion/fashion industry in general and changes in society values and norms after COVID and sustainability/diversity & inclusion etc. It features the real designers designers too like JPG, Demna Gvasalia, Daniel Roseberry, also the editor of The Perfect...
