It's odd that the only fashion emojis people have at their disposal revolve around comical-looking heels and smooch marks when this modern-day form of hieroglyphics has become so embedded in our everyday communication patterns.
This is why illustrator Chole Wise and The Coveteur created the 'Fashion Emojis We Wished Existed' collection of fashion-related emojis to help us express ourselves when the regular sad faces just won't cut it.
Emojis really have become a way to voice how people feel about fashion mishaps and successes. Even though the peeps at Apple have given the world every emoticon imaginable from aliens to historic buildings, its team seems to have forgotten the fashionistas -- where's the fashion-related emotion that will express what it feels like to find a collection of vintage Chanel bags as opposed to a sale at the Gap?
