But I feel sometimes they [the press] kill things before they happen. Because by the time [the products] get to the stores, they've been so overexposed — because everybody shoots the same dress — it's old, nobody wants it. I think that's why some of the pre-collections are doing better than the main collections now because they don't get as much press, so they have longevity.
