Of course if you're not interested in fashion then you're going to find the fashion industry a bit pointless! And I'm pretty much in that camp, especially the high end brand stuff, which I consider to be mindless consumerism at its worst. BUT... how many of us work in various service industries, which if we're honest, have little tangible benefit to society?


At the end of the day, if it's contibuting to the economy and nobody's getting exploited, then you can't really complain.

Otta, didn't you know it's hip to be angry, provided of course that when you are venting your spleen you're dressed appropriately, in say Pretty Green cloths as modelled by the Gallager brothers?

Child labour and sweat shops, endless consuming of our finite resources, last year's style sent to landfill if not recycled, pressure for models to be un-healthily thin and resultant mental health issues.


Issues not generally connected to arts.


Not sure you can say the fashion industry doesn't harm anyone.

Certainly there are grotty and grubby shenanigans involved but I think that goes for nearly every industry somewhere down the line, should you only care to look hard enough.


A somewhat overly serious hardline misery-guts attitude to something which adds genuine interest and colour to life.

I agree, but in same way that people can dress as they please, people should equally be free to express an opinion. If you fell that someone who is dressed in garb which they believe to "hip" looks like they've been sleeping rough, feel free to say so.

Presumably you don't mean that you would 'feel free to say so' to the person in question?

Depends on how well you know the individual, or not if you're feeling mischievous

And provides endless amounts of mirth when "hipsters" dress in garb which has come straight out of Billy Smarts clowns circus wardrobe.

Hipsters trying to look like clowns, or more worryingly, clowns trying to look like Hipsters?

Worried parents of ED need to know, the safety of our children is at stake!


As an aside, your anti-fashion Hipster will be wearing socks with sandals this summer. Feel free to laugh in their faces...

So that's what all those Brits abroad have been doing since the 60's, they've been parading their Anti fashion feelings without us even knowing.

I disagree Jez


Good loose knits and a pair of Birkenstocks, a pair of faded quality jeans, on the RIGHT person is a HOT look


Trouble is there ain't that many RIGHT/HOT people



As an aside, isn't the whole 'Hipster" thing more about a lifestyle, than just a fashion statement

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
