Look at the music industry. A CD from an indie label by an adventurous, creative artist will cost you the same amount as a CD by the latest corporate focus-grouped mass-market teen pop-slut sensation. If something is truly distinctive, it becomes inherently self-selecting.
There's that centralization problem again, in the form of distribution.

i would agree. the music industry by nature, however, has ALOT more options for distribution with file sharing, myspace music etc..basically eliminating the big bad corp. guys. take danger mouse for instance who sampled and file shared himself illegally to the most critically acclaimed album of 2004. basically they had to adknowledge that this 'epidemic' wouldn't go away and give some of the power back to the people.
how would you propose we get to that same place in fashion?
