Fashion Trends are a Sham!

Name a fashion or a trend that is currently out of style that you wish would make a comeback? Or name one that you wish would disappear forever.

-----------------

I wish all fashion trends would disappear. If it did, no one on earth could make women cover-up or open up to the nth degree and make men wear ties that make them look as if they are choking to death.

I don’t know who made fashion become a reflection of social, economic, political and cultural changes, but someone did it sometime. Leading the culprits is the greed of the luxury industry. The industry’s modus operandi is stamping a logo on everything and enticing the rich and famous into becoming the leader of the craze.

Rather than using clothing as a defense against the elements, we have turned into maniacs who wear the latest things. It is not just the clothing, though; fashion trends show up in house and garden decorations and in the designs of the vehicles. As a result, this creates impulsive shopping habits. Except, a few savvy customers have learned to follow their own hearts and do with their belongings whatever strikes their fancy.

I know any industry is valuable in producing jobs, but should job creation serve to empty the pockets of the people? I don't think so. I think job creation should serve the people, without corrupting them.
