“When you are young, they assume you know nothing.”
As adults, we are conditioned to believe that finding joy in dressing oneself is frivolous. Fashion is frivolous. Capitalism tells us it is unproductive, and therefore worthless. Beyond that, we also understand that producing fashion often comes at an ethical price. All of this does not mean the art form no longer exists, we understand fashion isan unavoidably political act, because the art of dress has become drenched in the toxic lacquer of late-stage capitalism.
A piece of clothing can hold a memory of a moment, a feeling, or an entire person. That’s embedded in this song, and something I have learned during quarantine. Without the ritual of getting dressed to present myself to the world each morning, the days seem to blur into one. Whether we like it or not, existing around other people means our personalities are a constant social performance, and clothing helps us decide our role on that stage.
Because clothing has this inherent capacity to make us feel a certain way about ourselves, consumer culture completely throws off our balance. The stability that we can and should find in our clothing is distorted, as we find ourselves rushing toward the next trend, chasing social-assimilation rather than self-expression.
The cut&past is rather sloppy
