Fashion that makes us sad: designer logo devotion
Logos can be very important, as they help you identify a brand. They signify a certain lifestyle and quality, and when we see a logo we recognize it reassures us since we have pre-conceived notions of what this brand is. Many people consider logos to be a status symbol, and rather than buying a designer bag of a specific color or pattern, they opt for one with an unmistakable all-over logo print.
How do you feel when you see a logo bag from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, Fendi, Coach, or Dooney & Bourke? Do you feel like you know something about the person carrying this bag, based on their desire to carry a bag emblazoned with one of their logos? And how would you feel if you saw a person TATTOOED with a designer logo on their flesh? We think it gives a new meaning to the term "fashion victim." [Racked]
