Fashion magazines can be informative.

Fashion magazines can be utterly repetitive.

The same Louis Vuitton animal print dress, Chloe babydoll frock, shiny Balenciaga trousers...they may be intriguing at first but if you flip through enough issues of the style glossies, you can ultimately become pretty sick and tired of what these "tastemakers" are pushing (personally, if I see another billowy tent dress, I think I'm going to cancel every subscription I have...thank goodness they have been deemed "out" for this fall). It's like that episode of "Full House" when Michelle was cast in a commercial for marshmallows and she ate so many in the days leading up to the gig, she couldn't eat a single one once the filming commenced. Thus proving that, yes, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

But nowhere is this more common than in the copy. You know, the little bits of writing that are in the captions of the editorial photos and "First Look" pages. It seems like all of the fashion writers share the same thesaurus that contains all of about a dozen or so words. It's bad enough that items are touted as "Must-Haves" or "Key Pieces", making the reader feel like they have to drop $1,000 on that latest Prada bag to be fashionable. Honestly though, that doesn't irk me as much as the fact that they used the words "Must-Haves" and "Key Pieces" again!

Therefore, in order to vent our own annoyance at the lack of creativity in what is supposed to be a creative field, we have collected for you the most often used cliches that the highest institutions of fashion publishing are guilty of overusing and abusing. We just hope that just like those trapeze dresses, someday these catchphrases will be "out" as well.
