Gatsby

that overwhelming feeling when something is audacious, impressive, yet utterly superficial and indeed pointless...

it also also useful in defining something which is very funny but a little self-indulgent, attention seeking, or plain eccentric

useful reference points would be the parisian boutique on rue st honore - 'colette' or wallpaper magazine perhaps

monacle magazine is also WELL gatsby


'oh my god this hotel is WELL gatsby'

'look at all this gatsby shit'

'she walked in wearing THE most gatsby outfit imaginable'
