In the effort of being argumentative, what if fashion lived outside the realm of the economy. This is fashion for the sake of concept, not function, form, or affordability, not like McQueen & Target forming an alliance that could rival the mite of voltron. As it stands now, the recession marches on, and while houses and stores are closing and struggling, something has to be said for that fact that tough times call for drastic, well, measures. I'm basically toying with the idea that this economies of scale v nostalgia argument leaves out the idea that there are great moments of creativity out of turmoil, when a closer look is given the art. We as people get creative and accesorize with bootstraps that when then pull ourselves up with. So maybe- there's no form of mesurment? No real pattern to follow when it comes to cause v effect; just that shit happens, and the styles that influence new treds are all we have to pull off of or read into.
Maybe> It's really just speculative as to what impetus results in bubble dressed, Hussein Chalayan inspired Lady Gaga or First Diva MObama rockin that thang, so to speak. OR perhaps we're just looking closer now, when we need things to motivate us. Perhaps the limits are self-imposed (as they most often are) and that the wealth of creativity are always present, its just how willing are we to look? Hard to see the forest through the wealth of sleeves?
okay, no more puns. Just ponder.
