More Old Skool Than You

I think what needs to happen is people need to start supporting local and underground designers more. But the biggest problem is people need to be more open-minded in general. Here, it doesn't seem to be a problem, but in the great context of things, ask anyone on the street to name 5 fashion designers.
You'll get something like 'Umm... like... LV, Dior, oh! And I love what Coco Chanel is making these days!' only because they're so well branded and diluted that they've become household names like Kleenex and Ziplock. And when the majority of people are content with brands they associate with wealth and style, why go out of your way to top yourself? The brand name is worth more than the actual product at this point, exactly every corporation's goal. 'LVMH operates over 1,900 stores worldwide. Its current business plan aims to tightly control the brands it manages in order to maintain and heighten the perception of luxury relating to their products.' ^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LVMH

the national state doesn't exist any more ... it's a capitalist way of thinking! But you are right though about subjectivity and so on ... By the way I remember a similar thread ... fashion now so boring Last edited by Multitudes; 21-02-2008 at 12:43 PM. |
