i am guilty of being designer crazed.. but not so much because this is an eman or a sahar, but for the way it fits or the originality. i would love to see a "no-name" with something gorgeous and i would buy it. but if someone starts coming up with great costumes, do they stay a "no-name" for long.
and i mean no offense by "no-name" it's just shorter than non-designer-brand-label costume.
That's also my feeling when it comes to costumes. Of course Eman is gonna get my attention, because she is my favorite designer. And if there was no such thing as "Eman Zaki" and I saw her designs out there, I would still by them! But then again I agree that the costumes would get attention and she would become a known name within the dance community, so it's probably a moot point.

BTW, I still browse Swap Meet and Ebay for something that is gonna grab my attention and it's not for Eman, because I can get it directly from her.
