In today's society, where little is made to last (even L.L. Bean)....I just don't see the point of buying brand spanking new, expensive clothes. There is so much clothing circulating or stuck in the backrooms of thrift stores everywhere, yet factories keep pumping out more and more, with labels that read: made in China, India, Bangladesh, Taiwan...
It's rather disheartening. Imagine if everyone wore thrift store finds! The mish-mash styles would be much more interesting than current trends of unimaginative conformity.
being in Europe was really eye-opening for me fashion-wise. Everyone is wearing what they want. And it's all different. Where I live, nearly everything seems to be Hollister and Aeropostale, etc etc. That's not to say at all that if people don't genuinely like those brands they shouldn't wear them, but I do wonder how much of it is fitting in and, perhaps unconsciously, feeling the need to demonstrate wealth through appearance.
