I’ve known about Zaftique since I’ve known about Google – do you remember back in the day when they tried that catalog experiment? I found Zaftique online, and meant to try it, but I was in college, struggling with maxing out credit cards to buy books. To this day, I’ve not had the opportunity to try them.
While I’ve seen them classed as “older” I see them as for more of the fantasist set when they’re not on their way to a con. Lots of more drapey, romantic designs, with lots of flow and plenty of good silhouette. Until recently, they also used genuinely plus-sized models. Now they’re drifting towards this disturbing headless thing, and while I love these pics – I’m especially intrigued by the lace overcoat – I’m a little worried about who’s at marketing and what they’re thinking about their customer base.
