1. I'm am amazonian, tall and not thin. thick, i guess so i don't know what ppl mean by for petite customers only.... not what i got from them - which is also washable - they didn't recommend it - just NO DRyerS and your funn fur is good! 2. i got my belly (and pround of it) the belli puche. ilanio fits me well - and from what i remember they will customize. and promoting fun fur is great - for pppl that can't stand to wear something someone else is wearing (soundz like a personal problem to me) it gives those great ideas to work on sewing our fun furr - which btw can be expensive - so in the end buying and making your own might not be as bright as having cute as hell ilaniowear clothes BESIDES not everybody lives in NY, london, or LA and clothes like this could be hard for them to come by! - chang , posted 02/01/08 |

I agree with those who said, "Thank You Ilanio Wear for supporting Tribe when most of the complaining ass mofos on the site won't do it." - Jan , posted 01/26/08 |

then why did you just give them a boat laod of free advertising? I didn't even know they existed before this listing. I just got numbed to seeing the ads for the clothes whose name i cannot even pronounce right. Now, i know who they are as do many. many other people well, hopefully, all this PR will help them sell more clothes. Truthfully, I hope so.... thank you silly-clothing-making company for supporting tribe and our forum to say what ever the hell we damn well please. - sunshine! , posted 12/30/07 |

Its an add to sell clothes. They customize your size. To me this is all club kid clothing. It is their choice to choose what models they want be it skinny chixs or ones with some meat on their bones. Thats how they sell it. What do you think 99% of all the fashion magazines promote? Skinny chixs. - Farasha: aka Ellen , posted 12/30/07 |

Some of them (the ads) are better than others. But I too got a little tired of seeing that butt thrust. - Rachy , posted 12/25/07 |

Seriously, I can't believe that you all have nothing better to do that bark at small business trying to find an outlet to grow. They are helping to pay for your place to post diaeretic posts. If you don't like the clothes then don't buy them. It's not like the ads are that intrusive. - Sia , posted 12/25/07 |

I would rather look at their innovative cute styles than most other adds. My understanding is that this is a small business that will do a custom fit if needed. They support tribe and aren't a big corporation. I see no need to dis on them. - goddessDi , posted 12/25/07 |

which I think is the main reason for ads - and talk. So they scored. Plus, even tho it's tiresome to see their weird poses, I must admit the approach is creative. But beautiful? nah - Anthea , posted 12/25/07 |

Where are the all the kickass burner trash clothes for full figured mamas? This way they can look like they have been all around the world and back, when they are actually just local rich trust fund lazy attention whores. Fashion is so overrated. This is partly why I don't go to BM anymore. Fashion and image is held in such high regard and attitude, talent and intention are secondary. No longer an autonomous zone of course there are exceptions, but generally... ugh I remeber going to parties in jeans and a t-shirt and not encountering alienation due to my lack of accessories, tattooes, fake hair etc. It's over Happy Solstice - keep hope alive - aLi , posted 12/25/07 |

I've seen this review floating around my tribes during the last days, but it's only today that I've opened it..... and I must say, WoW!!! What a Christmas present, especially for a Jew who's married to a Hindu, and who was here on Tribe today looking for a little boost on a quiet, sunny Christmas morning in NYC! I joined Tribe long back because I found it so much more substantive than other "networking" sites - myspace, Facebook, etc... Tribe seemed to have real people talking about real things - - not just internet ghosts hiding behind avatars screaming "LOOK AT ME!!!". It seemed to have more of my people - creatures of light who were looking to connect with like spirits, in a boundary-free world. But in the last year or so, the ratio of conversation to various "advertising" posts as gone way down. I'm a culprit of it myself; I used to post lots of words & ideas, and now I mostly post 6362MetaForce events and news (( - - to a very quiet crowd.....!)) .... Of course, my experience may be a reflection of the communities and tribes I belong to here; but to see all of my music tribes dominated by so many one-line posts has been a bit disappointing. So, I must thank Iliano Wear, Tribe, and all the people who have posted in response to this thread for making this feel like Tribe again! How ironic that this long conversation has arisen in reaction to these ads - - but then, perhaps it's really appropriate - considering that Tribe used to seem more of an underground venture - - and we all SHOULD certainly react to commercial incursion here, whatever our opinion may be. Maybe this Iliano-ness all over our tribes has finally awoken us to what's happening as our goahead, burning man, and other underground communities become increasingly commercialized and easy to access and to target..... Back to Iliano Wear. I must say, the sizing issue touches my heart, since I'm the potato-loving model in the 6362MetaForce online store model photos (www.6362MetaForce.net) ! [[[[.....Bacon is not my thing, but where would we be without the blessed potato, ESPECIALLY fried up nice and crispy???........]]] 6362MetaForce sells custom-made leather hip pouches, hip bags, belts, skirts, and more on our site - and all of them are made to your size in our shop in India. We send them to you here or wherever in the world you may be within 2 weeks of your order - - - and we created the store as part of our larger 'cultural' site because I was frustrated with finding no really nice party gear in my size outside of India. I'm an old Goahead and I've always managed to find the pieces I want in Goa, and then combine them with other stuff I piece together out here. But what about women and men who can't or don't want to make the trip to Goa just to find this killer stuff? Women (and men) can be beautiful in any size - whether 00 or 16 or whatever. So I'm not bashing Iliano models - they are one beauty type and they look great in some of these shots!!! Moreover - - some of the clothes being advertised could really make great additions to a banging outfit. But I'll circle around to my first comment again now, and say THANKS to them & to the Iliano crew & to Tribe for providing us this conversation-starter. It's good to know we're all still out here..... Wishing everyone a booMing start to 2008!! - RaCHeL... , posted 12/25/07 |

Ya know something? I really don't give a damn about what the models look like.... I do know that quite a few women I know look pretty damn hot in this stuff, and if it was not for advertising like this, currently un-employed people such as myself wouldn't be able to use this board. If ya don't want to see the adds, buy a premium membership, and quit yer hatin'. Like someone else said, I'd rather see Ilanop adds than the damn christen singles shit any day of the week... - YardZ , posted 12/24/07 |

it's instant burning man costume in a box no thought required. Everything else is dumbed down why not move on the dumbed down fashion. - Bla , posted 12/24/07 |

What a wonderful and interesting clothing experience! I would find anything that goes beyond jeans and a polo/t-shirt, whatever boring crap you are conforming in to be interesting. And the ads? Hello, that is every fashion ad out there. Except those being specifically marketed to larger sized people. And it is the advertisers who are keeping Tibe going. Except for those of us who have ponied up for our tribe experience and gotten a tribe premium membership. Not only do we also support Tribe monetarily, we don't have to look at ANY ads at all. I think that it is great that this company is making such interesting clothing. I also think that it would be nice if they marketed to a broader audience than they do. And I think that I would love to see those who are complaining do something much more constructive like start your own clothing company and advertise with the models that you would like to see on Tribe. BTW, recent research shows that men prefer women with curves by a large margin and that very few say they like thin. So maybe she feels she has to dress that way just to get your attention. Cause you're all staring at big breasts and curvacious thighs and hips! Any partner worth being with knows that real beauty comes from the inside regardless of what advertising tries to sell us. And if they can't figure that out, maybe you should keep on looking. Meantime, enjoy the pretty pictures! And bacon is delicious but very bad for you. Enjoy in moderation! Especially yummy dipped in real maple syrup! - Dancing Tree , posted 12/24/07 |

I find it mildly irrating that this post has gotten the most response of any post since I joined this baking forum. I especially am annoyed that I had to rate it in order to have my say. I don't care one why or another. As they say love the skin your in ! Fat , Thin, or in between...Love yourself and be happy. - Carla , posted 12/24/07 |

I dont care much for the clothing but I think the rage against skinny is absurd. Isnt it odd women never get on line and rage against all of the fat people and how they should stop eating. but for some reason its ok to dog thin people because they must not have feelings? I think all shapes ,sizes and ages can be lovely. - keiya , posted 12/21/07 |

yes, is shit... in every way. I have called the company several times to complain about how I dislike their ads. I find the design to be tacky, played out, tired, boring, overdone, and overall - lame. why is this on xlr8r tribe? oh well, I always love a good debate. I love a good-spirited bash even more. www.hikari.com/ now thats a clothing company. - Riko , posted 12/21/07 |

I rated them a 5 because they have a business plan and are doing something and creating while others are bitching and being bitter Betties. Get over yourselves, it's not all about YOU. Cute party clothes, cute girls, decent styling. Merry Xmas -  punx

I don't mean to ruin this chain of hate-posts but I just did a quick run-through of their website and found this in their FAQ: "I love this one thing, but you don't make it in my size! Let us know! Send an email to info@ilaniowear.com with the item in question and the size you would like. We would love to make all things in all sizes, but unfortunately, we don't have the resources to do that just yet. So the best way to make that happen is to tell us." PS - there are ways to remove ads from your browser if that's the big issue here. Try AdBlock on Firefox. Works like a charm and makes Tribe look pretty snazzy (not that I use it). ;) - Paisley , posted 12/20/07 |

Look, you can dress how you want, on any body you want. I like the brash style. Let them put the threads on whoever they want. But all this talk of bacon... If you want bacon, check out this Web site: www.GratefulPalate.com/. A whole new meaning to "fat back!" - ScubaSubNYC , posted 12/20/07 |

no matter how much bacon you eat. i heart the bacon. - Mishka , posted 12/23/07 |

The women in the ads are skinny? What about the numerous "thin" women you see out on the playa? Are you going to bash them too? I happen to be a pretty damn thin guy as I have all of my life and you don't see me bashing all of you fat f*ck idiots that are bashing these chicks. What is so acceptable about calling someone skinny when calling someone a fat pig is wrong? The fashion is pretty passe, but like 90% of the crap you see at Burning Man isn't. Give me a break. PS the ads are better than seeing the "meet christian singles in your city" ad I am looking at beside this crappy review. - Tony , posted 12/20/07 |

Isn't it about time we have representation of all body types, not just those who look anorexic or like junkies? Now, I'm not saying that ALL women of the exemplefied body type are anorexic or junkies; I have many friends of different shapes and sizes, and some just happen to be really tiny, regardless of how much they eat! If anything, they eat as if they've a hollow leg! Yet, the "average" woman ranges between a size 8-14. NOT a size 0. Nor a size 24. I'm just asking for some diversity here-- glamourization of ALL body types, clothing for ALL body types, as long as it's HEALTHY. Both extremes, whether underweight or obese, just aren't sound. Food is good. I like it. I also like to touch my palms down to the floor, and can! Even if I do weigh 170. So thar. - Pyremonqui-- , posted 12/20/07 |

Blossom, I may not be terribly impressed with the clothing in these ads, and I am certainly not a man who believes a woman has to be built like these models to look good, but Negative Body Style? I was recently in a long term relationship with a woman that was 5'7" and 103 pounds. She wore size 00 pants. And she was beautiful. Some larger people with really small minds had negative thoughts about how she was put together, but there was nothing negative or unhealthy about her size. And I recently had a relationship with a woman that was quite a bit larger, and there was nothing negative or unhealthy about her size, either. Both of these women were beautiful just as they were. Please stop being negative. - Lester , posted 12/20/07 |

it's not as offensive, however, as the half-braindead stare of the chick who they used to advertise Beatport, though. - kvD

As a art graduate I got to know other students that were in the fashion design department, this is effective marketing, this is how someone with an idea gets to make MONEY ON IT. Of course, success attracts enemies. The clothes themselves, well... taste is a matter that is subjective. I like some of their stuff, some of it not so much, but somebody is going to like anything... and it's not like if I see a shirt in a men's clothing store when I shop that I think is hideous that I presume that nobody else would want to wear it... or that the person who'd like it has something to be ashamed of. It seems to be the height of egoism to postulate that your tastes are "tasteful" and that those whose tastes diverge are either campy and cheap, or ostentatious and too decadent. Don't you know, people's tastes are a reflection of them, and that if you run around insulting people's tastes you insult them as well. I know, I know. But they're capitalists... their advertizing... we make our own clothes. Fine, make your own clothes. But this is the hipster bullcrap you guys put your bands through that when they are obscure and totally broke you feed your egos that you know of them and that when they become known by everyone and successful they aren't cool anymore just because people know them. Yeah, same thing with fashion, so many are always looking for that ballence to be the one on the bleeding edge with the look and styles that everyone will acknowledge as cool but yet nobody would really know at the same time... something rare... something that makes them say "oh, wow, they're so hip and knowledgable about every cool thing to wear and listen to that regular people don't know about, lets kiss their ass and declare them the epitome of taste and everyone else hopelessly uncool." You know, I actually have more respect for the people who object to the outfits on moral grounds, not that I agree with them, but at least they're not coming from a position that's shallow. I see too many just making blanket generalizations "Well, I don't like raver wear, ravers, rave culture" fine, so what are you, preppie, goth, emo, geek culture, hip-hop? What about when people make blanket statements about your subculture? As for the model controversey. Um, why don't we just right up a law forcing naturally thin women into burquas or fat-suits so that no one has to see anything that might motivate them to anhorexia and bulemia. I'm in a college town, there are young women all over t he place and at that age MANY of them look like those models figure-wise. Who are they marketing to, what age demographic? Not thirty somethings... like they're going to go to a warehouse bash? So do you think that if every magazine and ad censored itself that there wouldn't among women aged 16-25 skinny ones that get a lot of the attention anyway that have their more matronly figured best friends eating yogurt and running on a treadmill trying to compete? Nope. People advertize what SELLS. To think that "thin" models are the only kind of beauty out there would be a stupid assumption, but anyone shallow enough to be that easily propegandized wouldn't be that much deeper minus the propeganda. Thin is merely a symptom, of youth mostly, and if thin models sell clothes to women of all figures it's probably because it conveys to the buyer a feeling from a time when they were that thin, love was new and mysterious, they felt the full power of their beauty coming into womenhood... and eliciting feelings and emotional associations like that with a product tends to sell product. Anyway, anhorexia doesn't necessarily solely come as a product of advertizing or men wanting thin women... it comes from deep stuff, some psychiatric drugs prove it to be somewhat biochemical, it comes with OCD much of the time, odd rituals, sometimes a peter pan syndrome where they are trying to stop the biological clock of puberty or reverse it. There is a severely distorted body image where arms that look like bones in sweatsocks look to the person like bloated sausages. There was anhorexia and bulemia even back in days when thin was out, back in days when hollywood liked curves it was going on. It's probably been going on for a very long time, just these were days when people talked about it. To blame thin people for it, or advertizers, when it's obviously a psychiatric disorder that doesn't require thin to be in to effect people... it's simplifying a complex problem and passing the blame onto advertizers for the fact that we have disgustingly poor mental and nutritional health care in this country. - Irony's Prophet , posted 12/20/07 |

i think some of their stuff is cute and they are targeting the right crowd. I am sick of looking at it though. I heard if you join premium tribe membership, you don't have to look at ads.... Ya gotta think too that they must be doing ok if they can afford to keep running the ads. Good for them! I appreciate small business rather than shopping at some place where their clothing is made in sweat shops. I don't choose to buy from them cause it's not my style, but rock on, artists. hmmm $5/month - Molly , posted 12/21/07 |
