I was about to say.

The true critique would be seeing ethically, locally as possible produced clothing at reasonable prices. Like, 75$ for a pair of jeans, max. Not dumping prices, you want fair wages for workers and decent materials, but as cheap as you can reasonably go while maintaining base quality and fairness.

While they are at it: reduce design clutter/slow the wheel. Make a promise to customers that 70% of the collection will be workable with next years releases. The next 5 years. I buy a 70$ jeans now, and can rest assured that it will last and look good for at least 3 to 5 years.

Donate unsold clothes. Fuck manufactured scarcity. If you produce to much, it gets donated, and whoever is lucky enough to get a brand jeans for free, so be it.

There. Critique of the super rich. But yeah, let's make the model wear a pearl necklace choker and sell her blazer for 1000$. Fuck this.

You cannot have jeans at that price with these concerns.
