It’s interesting the divide between designer brands and your everyday, regular, fast fashion brands. For example – If you wear one thing designer, let’s say a pair of Yeezy’s, or a Supreme fanny pack – then your WHOLE outfit is automatically seen as better than let’s say – someone in an outfit from Target that they have styled perfectly trendy and incorporated multiple pieces that are somewhat bland on their own.
I think designer brands have their places in fashion. They create the high quality, interesting and new fashion trends and keep the fashion industry circulating. However, I think a mass majority of these items are, to put it bluntly, ugly. Though as truthfully said by McQueen, “I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.”
Of course you wouldn’t wear a pair of clunky, colorful, “dad style” tennis shoes, but when they are from a luxury fashion house they are incredibly fashionable and LOOK INCREDIBLE, while at the same time, that almost identical style of shoe from Walmart is seen as vulgar as it was originally seen as before the designer trend.
I think true style, true fashion, revolves around putting things together. How one person can incorporate their own personal style, trends and a wide range of clothing to create a new, trendy and stylish ensemble, instead of letting the hype beast brands do it for you.
I personally believe it isn’t about who you wear, or how much money you have spent on your outfit, or if the front of the shirt say’s Anti Social Club or not, it’s about how you wear it. It’s about how you feel in it.
