We Fashion Victims hold certain truths to be self-evident. Without so much as a raised eyebrow, we allow a set of ridiculous, yet compelling, rules to govern our wardrobes, our purchases, our desires, even our own sense of self-worth. It’s these unquestioned tenets that have helped bring us to the sorry state we find ourselves in today. THOU SHALT PAY MORE TO APPEAR POOR It takes a great deal of time and money to look as though you put no effort into dressing. Since a garment today rarely remains a popular item in our wardrobes beyond a few months, we require it to be worn out before we buy it. Fabrics are prewashed and grayed out to appear less new.
Designers sew on decorative patches, slash gaping holes into the knees of jeans, and fray the hems. Dresses and shirts are prewrinkled. Jeans are stonewashed, sandblasted, acid-washed, and lightened; they are iron-creased and bleached to whisker at the upper-thigh as if they were passed down to you by your mother, who inherited them from her father, who had worn them in the wheat fields a century ago. Designers add character to clothes by messing them up, like Helmut Lang’s famous $270 paint-spattered jeans. Jeans, blasted and stained dust-brown, by CK, Levi’s, and Dolce & Gabbana, cost up to $200. In fact, Calvin Klein’s dirty jeans sold for $20 more than a pair of his basic, unblemished ones. In 2001, Commes des Gar§ons produced a peasant dress, priced at a very unpeasantlike $495, described by discount shopping website Bluefly.com as given a chic tattered look.Fall/ Winter 2015-2016 Fashion Trends | Fashionisers Ltf
