Romper? I Barely Know Er!
2017 has been an absolute slap in the face to me. I was still recovering from the Jeff Koons X Louis Vuitton disaster and was still in shock from MAC joining Ulta's lineup. But now... Rompers? Or should I say romphims?
I am actually screaming. The color scheme, which is 2/3 Vineyard Vine ripoff and 1/3s Jackson Pollock nightmare, is absolutely appalling. What were they thinking? Who did this?
These oversized man-babies look like they're wearing footie pajamas that somehow lost half the fabric needed for the full product.
This modern tragedy is the brainchild of Kellogg School of Management-based founders, a group of guys who said that they wanted clothes that weren't "too corporate... too fratty... too 'runway'... or too basic." Cheekily naming the company Romphim, the founders seem to want to stand out and make a fashion statement with a product that quite frankly not even David Beckham could make look good.
Good job, Northwestern. REAL GOOD JOB.
In case you want to perhaps throw away your dignity and actual civilized clothes and pursue the limited-edition 4th of July romphim, be sure to order it now! You wouldn't want your patriotic festivities being limited to the way too mainstream two piece outfit!
