Really insensitive name =/
These clothes are gorgeous. I love bright sets and often struggle to find enough good orange items in certain wardrobe layers. Some interesting pieces to work with. Nice job all around.
As for the retirements, I finished my Blackout and Dekonstrukted sets recently so that's a relief!
lol agent orange was a herbicide used in places other than vietnam. the cancers were an unfortunate side-effect.
agent orange was mainly use as a defoliant in the jungles. agent blue was the one that was used to destroy crops that were allegedly used to feed guerrillas.
get learned.
i like the clothing, but as other people said, i find i quite strange to call a clothing line after a weapon of mass destruction... something that killed a lot of people is not something to make fun of in my opinion..
Orange is my favorite color ever, so this made my day ;w; Love 'em!
Nicely drawn items, but...
Growing up during the Vietnam War, with family members in the military and hearing the horror stories, I have to say I wish a different name had been chosen. This one has very negative connotations for me and detracts from the cute clothes. :(
agent orange makes me think of a james bond film. like a bond girl. as does this fashion line.
Shoot. I didn't think that white out would have retired already.
I do like some of the new items though
Don't really like the color orange, but guess they would be good if you want to stand out in a construction zone. Only saying that because there's a lot of road construction by my house & the workers are all wearing orange. I do like some of the styles though.
IMO there are lots of items on subeta that can offend people. Decapitated puppies anyone? Gummy fetuses? However, I'm almost sure that the artist who did these did not intend for the name to be offensive. "Agent Orange" by itself sounds like an interesting name, and it's also a band, a drink, a film. The name of this line could be a reference to one of those instead.
I am not miss-informed and I don't think the name needs a change. But I thought annoying orange was a brilliant name suggestion. HEY APPLE!
Oops >.< Posted a blank comment by accident. ._.
Um.. I have to say, I love the artwork and I thought the name was pretty cool.. Until I found out what it really was. Now I'm just mildly disgusted. I hope whoever named this was just unaware - and thought it was a cool name and looked good (like I did at first).
However, the artwork and use of the different shades of orange is just fantastic. Orange is my favorite color, and I couldn't be happier to see this new line. Well done. :)
Having had family affected by agent orange and knowing how it effected there heath gotta say bad choice of line names there folks.That being said the artist once more show there superb skills.Kudos to them
wow.
aw crap I forgot to buy the argo blackout liner >_< oh well, love this set 8D
Seeing as someone I'm watching on dA, submitted a picture of someone's character named "Agent Orange" a while back, and I just though back to that, not.. XD
I really hope there aren't any Na'am vets here =(
Agent Orange...the name made me giggle. Until everyone made such a big stir that I wikipedia'd it.
Maybe they didn't mean that? I was thinking like, a spy or something. ._.
I didn't even think that there was anything wrong with the name, and then I clicked here and..... O___O
+1
that shade is really annoying a pop of color to outfits. XD
Wonderful colors, thanks!
line should be renamed. hideously insensitive.
love the new line, but I can definitely understand the aversion to the name.
Agent orange D: nice clothes but real agent orange is very bad stuff :/
Sine it caused so much commotion, name it Annoying Orange 8D HEY APPLE!!! Cute line anyways X3
Makes me think of the band, who named themselves such because of what happened in the war. But regardless, I don't think it should be changed. -shrugs-
It's surely a bad name choice regardless of how beautiful the clothing is.
Name aside, some of the pieces here are lovely and I love the colour choice for the latest monochromatic line.
I hope that name choice was due to a lack of education and not on purpose. The clothes themselves are beautiful, however.
Seeing as how "Agent Orange" killed and maimed hundred of thousands of individuals during the Vietnam War, and caused so many birth defects (many people still dealing with this today even), it really was an insensitive choice to name such a nice looking clothing line. :C
Okay, I associate Agent Orange with a cleaning liquid...not with evil intent. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
I'll say it again; the name needs to be changed. It's seriously insensitive and draws so much attention away from the items.
Agent Orange.
Lol XD
Shit I just realised the name.
Horribly insensitive name choice for such a pretty line of clothing. :/
While it may not be the most, or best, thought out name for a clothing line, the art/coloring is quite beautiful.
Some cute pieces, the name could have been a little more well thought out though imo ;(
Very Cute! Im loving the orange!
Cute line, I love it, although I feel the name choice is a little tasteless.
Bad choice for the lines name... my grandpa was exposed to that crap when he was in Vietnam :(
Gorgeous new line :D I had almost all of the retired sets too, so no panic-buying here for once! :D
I know it's not the intent of whoever names these items and the art /is/ gorgeous but I kinda frown on their choice of 'Agent Orange' for the title...
I'm glad to see some orange. Just a little sad to see Blackout and Dekonstrukted retiring.
Zarra-chan, I thought exactly the same thing.
At least there's some more orange stuff about. Its such a neglected colour.
Love that shade of orange! <3
The prices for whiteout were really low, compared to other lines out right now.
Cute new line! But isn't it a bit early to retire Whiteout? It came out what, last winter?
I was just sweetly procrastinating wheather or not I should buy the argo liquid liner. Then it goes and retires -_- not to mention I've been trying to save money :B
Owell These are so pretty and everyone knows the color orange needs some love ;p
Ooh, lovely items. And that shade of orange is gorgeous~ But then again, orange is my favorite color, so I may be slightly biased. :3
