Sure, Twitter is free, and, if you can put up with some spammers, the occasional fail whale, and those annoying "promoted Tweets," at the end of the day, it doesn't cost you a damn thing to use it.

The verdict? ~Good design. ~Good fabrics. ~Still some problems with sizing and cutting. The Proenza Schouler collection features some of the best styling of any of the Target Go International clothing lines. No weird bejeweling. No crappy ornamentation to cover poor quality.
