The 2000-2010 decade has very little originality. None of the creativity as the 60s, 70s, etc. From what I've seen in the malls and streets lately, designers are desperately trying to market the "80's," only because it's profitable to this generation of buyers. Like the article, I long for more originality, something that we can look back years from now and say "I remember when we use to wear THIS!" I agree with this very well-written article.

I think you really touch on a good topic when you mention that trends are always recycling. If you hold on to certain items for periods of time, they are typically destined to come back into style. I think that too many people cast aside looks once they are viewed as being "out," and end up spending money on those same and/or similar items years down the line. Of course, another option is to simply stick with trends that are classic, and won't go out of style - no matter what. Cardigans, blazers...non-controversial pieces that will always be valuable for your wardrobe. Wonderful, wonderful piece.

These days I get most of my clothing from the thrift, clothing swaps or etsy and ebay online. And not from new designers, or any mass markets. It is very odd how everything seems to be in fashion, definitely lacking a voice. It is very unfortunate how the industry has been going.

Personally I think this is a brilliant post. It may make us all a bit uncomfortable because it exposes a truth many wish to ignore. Did anybody see in this weeks NY Mag they ask a bunch of high schoolers questions and one was about blaming us for the recession. One kid said,"No, they were just pursuing a false sense of well-being through possessions they didn't actually need. Its pathetic but thats how they were raised." Hmmm from the mouths of babes!
