Has Fashion Gone Commercial?

Everyone knows that today’s music industry is more commercial than ever. The true lyricism and quality projects are fading away as more “one hit wonders” are being brought to the spotlight. Money is the mission and the passion that some individuals had for music is gone.

There are also a lot of “one hit wonders” in fashion. Fashion is one aspect of culture that should not be COMMERCIALIZED. Investors and manufacturers thrive on profiting off the latest trend. The true fashion days of Nautica, Polo, Guess, Coogi and others are being replaced with commercialized “celebrity” and “pop-tart” brands, which will only be in for a limited time. Real fashion lasts forever. (but trends change)

Now of days it seems as if people buy clothes only to be accepted and not for individuality. Whatever the latest “fad” is, people tend to flock to it, even if it is unfashionable. Everyone has the right to their own opinion on fashion because fashion is all about the way you express yourself. Since commercial music is accepted in society, why not accept commercialized fashion right? WRONG!

The leaders of the fashion world today are not concerned about what true fashion is, just as long as they have their name on a piece of clothing. M.I.A.M.I. (money is a major issue), when dealing with the major powerhouses in the industry. Nonetheless there are some brands that exemplify feeling for self when sporting their gear. Those brands are frequently overshadowed by the “I have a clothing line!” brands. Yeah, everybody can rap, everybody can sing, everybody can model, AND EVERYBODY CAN CREATE A M********** CLOTHING LINE! (LOL).

Stop it Hollywood. No one wants to see another VOKAL line come out. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I don’t know about you, but don’t you want to see real fashion again? Feel free to comment on this.
