The Fashion Industries Way of Making You Spend Money...according to me

The thing about fashion, is that it's a multi-million(billion?) dollar industry designed to sell us stuff we don't need. But the thing is...we don't buy it. High end fashion designers make thousand dollar dresses, which are only bought by like one celebrity. Maybe we like that color, or cut, or shape of the dress. So, we look for something like it. Which is how stores like Forever 21 get all their money. They make things that are more wearable, and a ton cheaper, and we buy them. So why is everyone mad at Forever 21 for making money off of some smart idea. Target does it, Wet Seal does it, H&M does it. It's simply seeing how fashion affects people, and dragging them into it, while they don't even know it. Say someone is watching that show where they talk about what people wore to the Oscars or something. They may say how expensive a dress is. People watching the show, say: Oh thats a nice dress. WOAH she paid HOW MUCH? I would never even consider paying that much for a dress, the industry can take all the rich peoples money, but it's not taking mine, no matter how pretty it is. The next day that person is at the mall(okay maybe month), and they see a dress that cut, or style, or color. The image of the dress on the celebrity is in the back of their head subconsciously. They subconsciously remember how good that celebrity looked, think about themselves looking that good with this article of clothing on. And they buy it. They just spent 30something dollars on an article of clothing, after saying they would never spend money on it. Not all of this may be true for everyone. But that's certainly what my mom and all my aunts do. Me: I see something I like on tv. And find a cheap knockoff online. :)
