The
fashion industry is constantly evolving, both in terms of seasonal trends and
the advertising that sits beside it. It
just so happens I was reading an article in the Metro this morning about ‘debt
build up’ of the middle class society, due to a burning need to fund their
lavish lifestyles. An interesting article. Ok, this is partly fuelled by the
credit crunch, which we know could/has serious repercussions on our economy, but
for the fashion industry, this will NOT! We
live in a society where we perceive ourselves to be better than we are. We want
to be seen wearing the latest celebrity look, hanging out in the trendiest bars
(where a vodka and “water downed” coke, served by an arrogant waiter, costs
£15), driving fast cars and lapping up the rays in Monaco. For
as long as there are magazines on our shelves, and websites showcasing the
latest celebrity catwalk trends, there will always be millions of people
prepared to go to any lengths (like maxing out their 4 credit cards), to get
their hands on their prize possession; the new Gucci handbag.
