Fashion originated as a way for the ruling class to flaunt their wealth by constantly buying new outfits in a revolving door of perverse waste thrown in the faces of the peasants who could barely afford to clothe themselves to keep warm. Those who chase fashion trends are like dogs trying to imitate their masters. They embody the worst wasteful consumption of the ruling class. The pmc white women now parade in cheap, mass-produced sweatshop clothing made out of cheap material while the bourgeoisie laugh at the dogs who think they are human. It doubles as flattery and affirmation of the ruling class at the top of the food chain. Fashion. Fascist.

    clothes as utility while also having personal, unique expression is cool and good.

    but yah fast fashion is just capitalist consumer whoreism and involves some of the worst aspects of the advertising/marketing industry.
