In other words, over-priced and impractical clothes that can't be worn 99.9% of the time.

A lot of new designers today! I would imagine young people in their twenties artists familiar with YSL as people from that era. It's like Talbots! It's a fashion house from my era. There's so many new designers I don't expect our young people to recognize it.
