Here’s a question to think about. Why do people bother with fashion? Are people so scared to be individuals that they need some big faceless corporation to tell them what they should or shouldn’t be wearing? This is what people are doing whenever they buy a FCUK or Calvin Klien shirt over another, which is just as good (but without the logo, and about £5 cheaper). And people seem to think that wearing these items of clothing that so many others have somehow makes them ‘cool’. What? Since when is it good to let everyone else dictate your taste and opinions?
I mean, some one at the school I go to saw me wearing a ‘Bad Religion’ (a punk rock band) T-shirt and said “Bad Religion… Cool” pretty sarcastically. Now this is what I mean. How come it is perfectly acceptable to wear something that is basically turning you into a corporate billboard, but it’s not okay to support a band that I actually like.
Half of these big companies are probably minimising costs by using cheap labour by exploiting workers in the third world. Then they sell on to the consumer for huge profit margins, because the consumer wants the latest fashion accessory, or designer brand. And now, fashion isn’t just clothing. It infects many more industries.
Nowadays, it seems you could sell anything if people thought it was fashionable. Just look at the fashion shows with models in ridiculous looking outfits, which go on to sell for thousands. The only reason people buy them is because they were made by a ‘fashion guru’. If anyone else made them they’d be binned as worthless trash.
