Fashion Icons
Fashion in today's youth has become a main priority in many teens lives. Decking yourself out in the new latest and hottest pieces is a trend that skyrocketed recently. The main reason behind this is because of the new upcoming rappers. A lot of these rappers are trying to be fashion wizards in the game to gain more and more popularity with each wardrobe. Rappers like A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert are the main icons in youth today. Many kids throughout the world look up to these guys like they are some type of prodigy. Whatever they wear, you try to wear. These specific individuals have the power to start trends based off the clothing they rock. Brands like Supreme, Vlone, Nike, Bape, and Gucci are almost essential to these rappers. Kids today are willing to pay top dollar for them because they are the most poppin' items on the market right now. A question I ask myself is, what if these fashion icons suddenly start the trend to wear clothes from a retail store. What if they all of sudden start wearing target brand tee shirts? Will everyone else wear them too since your favorite rapper is wearing them? #FuckSwag and enjoy this picture of my outfit im stuntin on these lames.

Although fashion as a means of self expression is totally important, there's also the environmental view to consider. It doesn't matter if you get ethical, cruelty-free brands if you get a new wardrobe every season. Even if you recycle/donate those clothes, there's still the environmental cost of manufacturing them in the first place, along with transportation, recycling costs, etc. It's simply not a sustainable habit.

ReplyDeleteI actually do think young people would start wearing clothes from Target or any other retail store if the celebrities you mentioned (or any other high profile fashionistas) started wearing them. That's the nature of the game.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you Ms.B that whatever there idols are wearing there just going to follow along no matter what the brand is.
