Phillipe S+arck (who is much less impressive when you spell his name ‘Phil Starck’) has a new line of Fossil watches hitting the streets which confirm my initial suspicions about timepiece technology: ugly is in. I’ll cop to a certain affection for all of these—even the sherbet-colored analogeqsue ones—but you can’t look me in the face wearing one of these watches and try to tell me these are the sort of designs that we’re going to look back fondly on in years to come. And if you want to step, I submit for your shaming one secret collection of snap/friendship bracelets. Finishing move: tight-rolled Jordache.
Fortunately, they’re cheapish—$100 to $125—and they come in a variety of colors, including pink (although no pink on my favorite designs). There are bracelets and pendants and rings with LED faces, too. In fact, from the beginning of the previous paragraph to the end of this one, I think they may have won me over.
