I wish fashion was more innovative in the general public.

Fashion trends have become extremely fast paced & more capitalistic than ever. It’s been a problem but it’s gotten so much worse since 2020. The last big trend that actually lasted a few years was the art hoe/ egirl divide. That was like 2017- 2021, maybe early 2022. But since then, everything has been trend after trend after trend just piling on top of us & it’s rare that anyone does anything cool anymore. ESPECIALLY the rise of casual/ active wear. Vintage active wear was at least interesting, now it’s the most soulless, corporate esque shit I’ve ever seen. The leggings, the workout bras, the athletic shorts, running shoes, they’ve all become day to day attire for a lot of people. At least in the 2010’s there was those cute PINK sets, the fold over yoga pants with the cheetah print & rhinestone designs. They at least had some character. Now everything is just plain ugly & soulless. Of course there is huge innovation in the fashion/ art world at the top, but I’m talking about regular every day people. People do huge SHEIN hauls & buy fast fashion all the time, there’s a new micro trend every week, the alternative scene has been completely taken over by capitalism even though they’re supposed to fight it. Even the music has been capitalized. Everything has. It’s not the lack of originality that matters, it’s the fact that we are actively contributing to over packed landfills with millions of polyester clothing items every year & contributing to global warming. Nobody cares that their fast fashion actually affects the world. Hopefully one day people will realize that the planet is more important than fitting in for a month.
