Why I Hate Fashion
May 11, 2006 by Designer EllaI love fashion, like many girls women, I’m addicted to it. But fashion–as a business, in practice, and when merged with society–is evil. Billionaires make expensive marketing campaigns to get us to buy more. The trend cycle is created to lure us into an ever-purchasing loop. Clothes are made for models; models are here to make us feel bad; and models were not created normal (and magazine images don’t even depict human bodies, it’s all airbrushed)–yet they get free clothes, and what do we get? We’re stuck addicted to shopping that makes us feel fat and often we wear clothes that still don’t fit right. It’s considered a feat when a company recognizes different body types. We have the big and tall, just barely, and some things are still not seen–such as wide and small.
From there, things get really evil. Pressures, the high life (no pun intended), or whatever, cause(s) models to take drugs, and that’s bad. Yet, it’s tolerated until the media gets a big story; suddenly, companies must seem against it. That’s almost worse. Corporations and agencies still allow drug use, but they’ve picked on Kate Moss, and her alone.
Wanna talk evil? Fashionistas put dead animal skins on their own bodies. Leather and eating beef and the farms’ practices are one thing, but there is extreme brutality in catching or farming animals for fur. The big high-fashion design companies, though, would never consider going without some fur, python; whatever. What is this demand?
This brings me to the exorbitant prices. It’s so out of control that it doesn’t even exist in a relative truth. There is no concept of money for a fashionista, just whether or not we will have enough money in the bank, after all the spending, for food and shelter. $5,000 for a wardrobe or $5,000 for one bag, it all exists, and is eaten up. What can be done to even argue with $3 gas prices and our government’s allowance for that, these days?
The world’s corrupt, so can any step be taken to fix fashion? I believe it’s fixed us good, so we’re not even in a mind to try, but it might be necessary to help save debt, little girls with anorexia, once-innocent models’ noses, cute little animals, and our souls in general!
