Blood, Money, Oil. And Clothes.

Fashion is whatever people perceive it as. Leave it alone if you don't like it. find something you do like

I want to see the Givenchy clothes when they are in store. Or I will be got Paris to see them. Because what annoys me is the constant disconnect between what Givenchy is about and her need to make things look "trend driven" and "modern". Givenchy is not Calvin Klein, and neither is her conviction or editing. There is a connect; I won't go into that. The clothes ae probably nice when viewed up close. They get held down by this "now outdated" concept of the "younger" modern designer creating edgy ideas in an age-old house. Maybe they just need to address whom the clothes are intended for.? Because Birkenstocks or not, a woman simply will not buy the clothes if she doesn't like the way they come across. This could be Givenchy’s problem.

I studied fashion design. These designs are ugly and atrocious. It's just that simple. As for making some statement about the environment, that is ridiculous in so many ways.

Was this some kind of horror show? Night at the Museum?

Just stop fashion. Find a few pieces of clothing to use as a uniform. Wear each piece until it falls apart. Only buy something new when totally necessary.

This article wouldn't be so objectionable if "fashion" wasn't some vain thing that adds to planetary pollution, sexual stereotyping, and wasteful consumerism. And the practice of treating women as a commodity. I know it's been great to have nice, flattering clothes. But honestly, look at the socks, shoes, and pants of the gawkers in the front two rows, who aren't models. That says everything about what "fashion" in clothing has done for humanity. They would look way better in a Mao suit, or jeans and a work shirt.

Reading the comments on fashion week articles always annoys me. Could you be bigger killjoys?? It’s fashion! It’s inspiration. It’s creativity, it’s escapism, it’s wonderful! And all you all do is complain. I can’t afford it either, but the beauty and craziness of it makes people happy. And complaining about the environment here? Look at your clothes. Most of them are made in China and won’t last a year. This is high fashion that lasts and can be resold for decades, not to be confused with fast fashion, which is the problem. Maybe put your misplaced concern somewhere else, like the auto industry or oil and gas. This is beauty, this is skill, this is talent, and we can all can benefit from seeing what is possible when people are free to use their imaginations, just as with artists and their art.

The Balenciaga show was mesmerizing.

The rich who jet all over to go to these fashion events are not exactly doing the planet any favors. Who wears this stuff? It doesn't even look good on the models.

These festivities are for the rich alone. The rich will not save the planet and they will not suffer from of its fall. While the poor starve, the rich will dine out on the tale. The parties concerned with these fashion firms are part of the problem. They are not the solution. Textiles is one of the most environmentally destructive activities while pursuit of luxury goods is one of the most spiritually corrosive activities. Do yourself a favor and look away.

Here's a thought, why don't these designers deal instead with a topic that they can directly influence, namely why almost every model pictured looks to having a serious eating disorder.

Luxury=death.

One way to show that fashion is thinking about the environment is to just stop! We don't constantly need new clothes. The fashion industry has a hugely negative impact on the environment. The dying of fabric alone is one of the top water polluters in the world. Why don't you show the same clothes as last year. That would be a statement.
