Fashion - time for a case study?
I keep seeing articles in the Sunday age magazine and various popular media on how we are all (some of us are) obsessed with fashion. How much we all spend. How many fashion shows we have a year, yada yada yada.
But thing that the articles never ever answer, and hardly touch on for that matter is:
Why?
Why do we have fashions? Is there a need? Capitalist construct (consumerism)? Desires, feelings, inadequacies? Social dynamics?
Soo many questions, any point to answer them?

might this be a good topic for name your place? i guess we've already chosen thigns, but maybe we should be discussing more of a range of things. it would be interesting to chat to someone like kate from last semester - seeing shes doing her masters in fashion sustainability, i think. its funny how different we felt today wandering around the city - fruits in suits, getting better service, feeling that little more elite, and well, strutting. i think i might have found it easier to absorb information in a suit today - or maybe its just i'm gettign grips on the game....
