/fa/ - Fashion

Little thread starter here, just because I'm tired of seeing the constant "Is this effay?"

Fashion might actually be dying very soon. And no I'm not talking about how I hate the new trends that are coming around.

Now that grailed and the whole internet shopping generation has come to the forefront, everything is based on first impressions. Rappers are being invited to the most exclusive runways just because their stylist put them in a few nice clothes. And with the new generation of youth coming into the scene, it's not about finding a brand that really relates to your characteristics anymore. PEOPLE ONLY CARE ABOUT HAVING A TSHIRT WITH A BETTER TAG THAN THE NEXT PERSON!

Retailers used to attend runway shows to watch the show carefully, then cash out on the whole collection after the show and youd see beautiful works of art in stores in the following weeks. Now, the only pieces that are purchased from the runways are tshirts, pants, and coats. None of the of the real extravagant art pieces that really show what the brand can do. And it's not the retailers fault. They know the only reason people buy things anymore is because of the brand.

These days, celebrities are invited to runways to watch the shows and take snapchats of the whole presentation just to put on their damn story.

There's no actually interest in fashion anymore. It's all for looks and popularity.

Maybe all of this is already well known by everyone at this point and I'll be torn to shreds by the shit eaters who parade around this board. But really, where is fashion going?
