I’ve gone on Gilt several times, and I don’t get how to use the site.
The format of the page is so strange, it’s not like a regular website. It looks like a fancy flash site, but usually, on those flash sites, you never need to scroll since everything is formatted in a way where you don’t need to scroll your browser window. I feel so awkward scrolling and navigating the site.
Alexander McQueen goes on sale tomorrow at noon:

Not that I’m interested, but why do they have to make everything look drab. The very dark shadows and gray background. I guess the grays are used to match the awkward site?
Here’s the same dress on the Spring 2009 runway:

Not saying the dress looks good, but it certainly looks more fashion forward. (Even if the model looks like some sort of undeveloped fetus–mermaid legs stuck together, hair bound to the skull).
