men's diffusion, finally

So, we're all familiar with the Target designer lines, yes? Good.
One thing that must be noticed is that those lines are all specifically geared towards womenswear. Where are my guys at? No menswear? Boo hoo ):

But wait, there's more! Our wonderful friends at Macy's have come up with an exclusive menswear line, at an affordable price too! The line is called Thread & Heirs and it's due to release next Spring in 200 Macy's stores across the nation. Are you excited? I am! The designers of the Ruffian line (Brian Wolk and Claude Morais) will be the first designers to take up the Thread & Heirs helm. Their inspiration is "Williamsburg" I, for one, am definitely intrigued. The pricepoint is $24-$99. Finally someone's looking out for the guys who want to gussy up on occassion, but not bust their wallet!

And here's a little taste of Thread & Heirs:

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What's your viewpoint on designer diffusion lines? I'm a struggling artist/student, and that means I don't have a lot of money. So, I personally love diffusion lines; these allow us to get that high end label without breaking the bank. What's your take?
