Cream of the Cropped on eBay

June 22, 2008 by WendyB

While browsing eBay, this graphic, cropped jacket from Versace’s Versus line caught my eye.


Gorgeous jacket, right? However, I don’t like that the seller used “Gianni Versace” in the title of the listing and saved the “Versus” information for the description. The title could have easily said “Versace Versus,” which would have been honest while still attracting “Versace” searches. There’s no need to be shady about such a great jacket. Maybe that’s why the feedback for this seller is only 99% positive. That’s a little lower than what I normally deal with. I would still encourage someone to buy this jacket though. It would turn jeans and a t-shirt into something special, and the more creative people could really have fun with it.

Speaking of Versace, I keep meaning to share this clip of Kristen Johnston in one of my favorite Sex and the City episodes.

Does her purple Versace dress look familiar? Imagine how delighted I was to see it on that character!

    Favorite line from that SATC episode, “so why are you swimming in my pool?”

    The jacket is intriguing, but ultimately reminds me of some of my bad 80’s fashion choices.

    I just went through that whole old post. I had forgotten all about some of those. The red dress is brilliant on you, but I wouldn’t say that was your zenith. You came close with the “WWD debacle” dress. However, I still think it’s going to be a long time until you reach your highest point. You’re still a young whipper-snapper.

    I’m wondering what the age of that Versus-jacket-wearing girl is. She looks about 12. It’s a great-looking jacket.

    DAMN! that’s some AWESOME jacket. I wonder why the seller kept Versus for the end… i rather Versus than Versace really, and Versus has more caché right now due to its non existence… it is REALLY vintage!

    That was such a great episode. Thanks for reminding us what happens when we are disrespectful to others.

    thanks for this, as not only was I able to relive a favorite SATC moment, but it lead me to “armgina.” love hairy purple.

    I loved this scene even though it was equally as upsetting as it was hilarious!
