I only know what I know so prove me wrong. I think almost all other forms of art, from music to television and cinema to sculpture and mixed media and painting to dance all have proletarian channels, but fashion is almost exclusively for the wealthy. Arguably also it seems to me that a lot of culinary art tends to cater to the wealthy too, so fuck that as well.

    I don't give a shit about fashion beyond basically just not looking like a loser but I think there has been a big trend over the past 10 or so years to democratize fashion. Like obviously designers and shit are as popular as ever but the actual "cool" people have been getting their looks by going thrifting for years.

    I will say there is even a class contradiction in this though as it's mostly petit bourgeois and PMC urbanites spending lots of free time and effort sifting through hundreds of random thrift store goods in an attempt to perform a faux proletarian image.
