Sorry about that last post...I acidentlly hit the save button.
Here is a question for the Graphic design and fashion experts in our class. Has everyone become the same, in the style of dress and the design of clothes?
I see so many of the same replicated American Eagle and Abercrombie Fitch people with the same styles. Boys often where some kind of cargo shorts, white shoes, fossil watch and gel there hair, however the new trend has been to grow your hair long as a guy. Girls all where a tank top, halter top and a wavy skirt, often this is a mini skirt. I believe I pose this question because I recently went to the Mall of America and saw guys and girls relatively wearing the same style of clothes for there gender.
Then you have those artisy alternative types who desire to look all different and "modern" but really within there own group, they have all become the same. We all produced style clicks with certain groups of people.

Posted by enge0385 at July 21, 2004 12:55 PMi think your problem lies in equating fashion with the mall of america. what you are refering to is ubiquitous consumer culture. an excellent book on this topic is "The End of Fashion" by Teri Agins. she discusses the demise of the great couturiers and how essentially fashion was destroyed by a preocupation for turning a profit. large corporations, such as the gap, found they could make more money by offering "mcfashion" - clothes that are cheap, easy, and safe. everything in the store goes together and you can find it all over the world which means you'll be dressed acceptably no matter where you go. everyone looks similar so no one feels left out, nor do they have to make difficult and sometimes courageous fashion decisions about what to wear. going to the mall and picking something out is far easier. that being said, i'm not advocating a mall boycott. i think you can put together interesting outfits from mass consumer clothing if you are willing to take a few risks. if you're buying something off a mannequin and wearing it just like that of course you will look like everyone else. it's really all about developing a personal style. i can totally appreciate someone who has their own stylized look- no matter where the clothes are from.
ok, i think i'm done writing a novel on the subject:)
