Wendy over at Flypaper asks the question:
Are we completely spoiled, or should fashion fiends demand lower prices to feed our addictions?
I have to admit that I’ve become accustomed to seeing high fashion designers come out with collections for H&M or Target and now expect every designer to do the same - even though I feel that couture fashion should be accessible to everyone. However, at the same time I feel that some people don’t appreciate what it means to own something very nice, therefore, they shouldn’t be given the chance to own something so valuable.
Although there are still some fashionistas out there addicted to high fashion, I sense that the majority are coming into their own style. What we should be demanding...a pay increase so we can buy all the high-end goodies!
Agreed, I don't want all of my clothes to fall apart in the wash, a la H&M -- I love beautiful fabrics and great cuts that really can only come from a designer with the money to use beautiful fabrics and the smarts to hire a great tailor. But don't blame me if I want to wait for a sale.
