Do clothes designers design their clothes based on their own body assets and flaws?

[Purrchance]

I notice many of Susan Graber's styles are designs that seem to be something that would flatter her body shape, and I especially notice that in most if not all Diane Gillman's clothes on HSN. The slacks she sells on HSN all seem to have that pencil thin look to them which is what she wears on her pencil thin legs. You'd think they'd have styles that would appeal more to the masses.

Diane Gilmans closthes seem like they would appeal to the crowd that still thinks it's 1984. ;D

Yes, I know what you mean. :) Diane Gilman's clothing does look pretty dated. Quaker Factory is a line that is meant to be similar in its fashions with animal characters or some sort of decoration on its clothing.

Please DO comment on the latest fashions from Goodwill and Salvation Army!

Quacker factory seems to be more fun type clothes, worn on holidays. Also, for more mature ladies, Moms, teachers and such.

Diane Gilman just seems to eighty-ish, what with all the spangles, sequins and animal prints.

It's a bit much.

This question is actually INTERESTING!

Perhaps, the question of just WHY so many designer 'divine designs' END UP at used clothing stores might be answered!

Perhaps BECAUSE the so-called 'divine designs' DON'T fit so-called average persons who might WANT to appear fashionable but CAN'T wear the clothing!!!!!
