brilliant, i must say! wanting to look good is not an act of stupidity. On the contrary its a display of the heightened sense of self confidence possessed by the individual. They are proudly confident of being immaculately dressed and that is a good thing! those who think otherwise and stereotype fashionistas are the jealous envious people who wish they had a fashionable bone in their bodies!

This comment is a tad late but your post is SO true!
I cannot tell you how many well educated, independent women I have met that are designers or work in other areas of the industry. Other people are often shocked to find that they work in fashion, as if they are “wasting” their intelligence!
The best thing to do is continue to fight this annoying stereotype through our own behavior (i.e. not acting like Paris Hilton, etc. clones, which I don’t think any smart woman has a problem with), thus proving to the uninformed how WRONG they are!

lovely article! i completely agree. at times i’m almost ashamed to admit that fashion is one of my greatest passions and hobbies because i know the assumptions that go along with it. there is no reason for me to be ashamed, as an intellectual person i know that fashion has acted as a conduit for almost every movement throughout history. it is not something petty but actually one of the more interesting social sciences and art forms all rolled into one!

My name is Poppy and this whole campaign freaks me out! I am bombarded with adds asking ” Are You Poppy?” seems too overboard. And to the point of the article, too many girls think that just because they are good at shopping and stylish that being a fashion designer is a breeze. Foolish.
