Ethics of Fashion

RE: Ethics of Fashion

There are the obvious cultural aspects of it. But there is perhaps nothing more closely associated to you as an individual than the clothes you wear. It plays so many different roles in your life, from the way you express your gender, to the functional roles you fulfill at work, to social symbols such as status, position, group affiliation. It affects how you feel, and how you are treated by others, your ability to find a partner, and so on.

This is important, I think. 

Depending on how one defines fashion, it may go a lot deeper than we think.

If it includes signifiers, pre-decided by others, for how we show our personalities to the world, then no one is immune. 

People who say fashion is stupid and they're above all that will still use the symbols of their social class to present who they are. In America, guns, motorcycles, and the clothes that go with them, are fashion. Using these to show who you are makes you fashionable. Like it or not.
