For too many years; clothing stores, retail outlets, and well known luxury brands have been duping the public (like myself) into buying clothes that not only I didn't need, but clothes that literally burned a hole through my wallet and into my bank account. Even today I still find myself bombarded by magazines and billboards that are trying to get me to look like movie stars and celebrities by buying their clothing at god-awful prices. With the advent of technology and creative institutions, clothing has reached the point where if we wanted to, we could put shoes on the feet of every person in the world for next to free. Not only shoes, but we could put shirts and shorts on them. We could even give them canvas bags to carry stuff in. However; let's take a look at t-shirts and their function in American society today in terms of price, availability, and quality to illustrate this idea.
Graphic T-Shirts are worn by pretty much everyone, at least as far as urban and suburban life is concerned, and many of these shirts come from expensive and well known designers whom charge at least fifty dollars for a shirt that looks like it just came out of a bucket of wet paint. But are these occasionally tacky things worth it? In my personal and fashion educated opinion: no, not in the slightest. These graphic tees are no better than the cheap t shirts that you see street vendors in New York City selling for five dollars a pop. Not only are these essentially worth nothing, but the process for creating clothing graphic t shirts have completely changed with the advent of user generated content spawned by the web 2.0 movement. People have do-it-yourself videos explaining how to do screen printing, iron on transfers, and other ways to make your own cheap t shirts for a few dollars. Who needs high fashion when you have your own personal and individualist trendy vector splash on your back? People will be coming to -you- for ideas for their clothing lines. With the ability to make your own cheap t shirts out of high quality materials, why the heck are you still spending so much money on your luxury 'junk'?
