You view it as an unnecessary expenditure because you weren't there when that item (or at least the one that it was branched from) was showcased at a fashion show in
Paris during the 1990's. You're able to do this because someone else put forth the time and effort to create such a product.
Fashion is the single most socially relevant and frequently used form of art in the world, and people simply do not realize and appreciate that fact enough.
Kind of like farmers with food? Or glass molders that make vases in sicily? Every product requires hardwork, that's a silly thing to even bring up. You also have to consider how far up the food chain you're going. My girlfriend loves shopping for purses and high heels specifically, I don't understand the allure and some of the styles I do see (she fortunately doesn't buy) are so tasteless, skanky and just ridiculous. I mean who want's to buy a high heel covered in yellow spikes? Or pumps that are so bright red it looks like they were just spray painted? The worst part is these styles were once revered as "EVOLUTIONARY".
It's really the arrogance that comes off from these fashion shows that bother me, variety is always good and a plus. It also has an oppurtunity for specific artists (fabrics/patterns, ect.) to thrive. So I don't believe this type of operation deserves this "holy" respect you guy's are claiming. Neither does sports but people eat up that barbaric crap for breakfast anyway lol
