3 Symbolic Items Showing Fashion Has Gone On The 'Cheap' Path

Now the fashion world changes its vibe to act "poor" now?

From Balenciaga's cheap-looking travel bag to Vetement's DHL delivery clothes, it's not strange to think that the richest fashion industry is now competing to be "poorer"? Let's get a closer look at how these luxury fashion brands are now pretending to be "poor".

1. Celine's PVG handbag

What's more fashionable than PVC bag in 2018? With a logo on the PVC tote, you're the shiniest among all! The Celine PVC tote allows fashionistas to actually show others what's in their bags. Some of them even put a bag in this bag to create layers and attract eyes. It actually serves as a filter that creates the mysterious feeling for whatever is inside. You'll fall for the interesting design without even criticizing the expensive price.

Think of this bag as a tool you use to make your Instagram more internet-celebrity ish and adds this casual feeling to the fashion world.

2. LOEWE's basket bag

This looks like just some random weaved basket bag that you can find in H&M or ZARA with just a few bucks. But with the brand LOEWE, this bag is easily hyped to hundred dollars, which is a rather fair price compared to other brands' basket-like bags.

It's like a bag you can take to picnic and countryside with a bicycle, but that's just the kind of feeling that will boost your social media posts. It's simply because infusing luxury with country life is an exciting conflict to create.

It's just my perfect bag choice to post on my Instagram account because it's a style that I've never tried.

Don't you relate to the basket bag that our grandmas carry to buy groceries? But the leather logo Loewe just suddenly makes this same-ish basket bag a lot more luxurious.

3. Vetements fishnet bag

Fishnet is not a new element in the fashion world. Since 2016, Kendall Jenner and all these models had hyped the fishnet socks to a peak. I remember I spent 50 bucks just to get a pair of those socks, which I see as stupid things now. However, Vetements has reused this element and makes a bag out of it.

This little tiny bag costs thousands of dollars but people are still crazy about it because it's VETEMENTS!

Well the only concern to me with this bag is that will the fishnet hole become bigger and bigger? And how am I gonna put really tiny stuff within it? Say a pin or a candy. But I guess people who bought this bag wouldn't really think about its functionality, the posing is all they need.

The fashion industry is always changing. It changes to be stranger and stranger. There's never the most strange, but only stranger the next season. Our senses and understandings are challenged by the trends of fashion all the time, but still, we fall for it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
