Hi Mccoy,
What about the artistic expression behind fashion?
Doesn't Eric have a point here? i mean if we r going to eliminate one form of art shouldn't we just eliminate all art?
I find that western society gives inordinate importance to clothing. This excess may be disguised as 'attention to artistic expression'. I do not condemn artistic expression, rather the degeneration of it into the shallow and overrated industry of fashion, which produces luxury clothings which are sometimes sold at one or many yearly salaries of workers in the developing countries.
When art is examined by greedy eyes it turns into a so called investment, in a few words an item used by very rich people to spend their excess money.
I am always careful not to don brands, the most known the worst. I'm sorry to say that but I tend to despise the industry of fashion in such a way to be attracted by the maoist extreme.
