No need to get gussied up when you’re afraid to leave your apartment. And sure, some of that may be true, but I’m looking for something a bit deeper. I want to talk about what killed the essence of fashion — the very soul of creativity and expression once shared by both designer and customer.

And to add to it. Fashion has never even really been a choice. You don’t design your own clothes. You (probably) don’t sew your own sweaters. Other people have always decided what everyone wears. Since the beginning of “fashion”. It’s another illusion of choice. The clothes in your closet… would it really have been what you want to wear? Or was it simply your favorite option of the select clothes to buy in the stores around you? What would your style really have been if the styles you see today didn’t matter or weren’t created?
