My point is that the majority of clothes people buy has next to nothing to do with the fashion industry in New York, Paris or any other major city; and what is promoted by them is the most over-priced produced-by-exploitation goods on the planet. They simply are not needed for people to be clothed well.
People still have to come up with material combinations and make subtle modifications to make thing look fresh.
Some folks don't even realize those changes. What they see is new clothing that doesn't look totally dated.
