Clothing sucks now
ShareThe fast fashion system was set up during post WWII when regular citizen couldn't afford custom tailored clothes and to prevent business from denying Black and Brown people fabrics and services.
But now, 70 odd years later, the fabrics are thin, smelly, wrinkly, and breaks after a few washes.
My clothes average around $60-80 per item to guarantee lifetime warranty but not everyone can afford the luxury, price or the time to put in such an effort, so instead they thrift, except know thrift shops, which were made to HELP the poor, charge same-price or close-price items because "we quality check them". I was a volunteer once, and it wasn't "quality checking", it was, "folding and ironing".
On top of that, the only clothes options left are sweatshop made and bought products that steal from sole traders and profit off other people's art while mainstreaming the "punk/grunge" era, WHICH WAS MADE TO BATTLE FAST FASHION.
So why don't we return to the old custom tailored fashion from before? Oh, right, because then black and brown people would be able to buy from the companies that excluded them in the first place. Silly, me (sarcasm).
