>OP just read the Stranger and wants to come off like a brooding intellectual, he's not concerned with capitalist culture or materialism or the plight Enlightenment has brought over man. He wants to voice his opinion in a matter dictated by the system he lives in, otherwise it can hardly be heard.
Cool so long as he doesn't unironically oppose the system he's dependant on, and even then taking a reactionary stance is contemptible, though that's an off-topic subject

>I disagree that the language of fashion is solely a product of consumerist ideology if that is what you're implying?
Not solely by any means, just under the current socio-historico-cultural conditions.

>Fashion, as in the clothing you put on your body, is and has always been artistic, cultural and individual expression regardless of the culture and system.
Not denying this

>It reads to me like you're saying a photograph taken of a man, sold, circulated and used in magazines to advertise sausage and toilet paper somehow has an effect on the nature of that man in the way primitive cultures were afraid cameras would steal their soul.
That would be an inapt comparison seeing as how there are no relations which can be adequately termed as a language of photos.
