"Fashion" industry does this on purpose so peeps keep on buying to stay in fashion. They make regular design alterations so that clothes appear dated from year to year. When the altering possibilities run out older models start rolling back as new as in fashion.
- benj111 7y agoI don't think its "on purpose" in the sense of a grand conspiracy. If you're a designer, you cant keep sending the same clothes down the catwalk year after year, if you design for a client, you cant really design the same stuff as last time. Everybody does it, even the software industry, the clothing industry just does it at a higher tempo. Ultimately, you don't have to play the game if you don't want to. The most stylish people I know don't really follow what's fashionable, and then there's me with jeans, t shirt, and a nearing on 20 year old jumper (that's vintage right?). If anything 'fashion' just seems to be a keeping up with the Joneses thing, rather than about looking good.
