MY granny got 50-year old vintage jeans and an ipod. guess shes hardcore.

I think today the market is much more segmented= the internet be blessed.

but In general we see a shift of consumer masses towards the ultra luxurious.

As some stupid lowlife LV peddling 'ho wrote on Ebay- "To own Louis Vuitton is a preveledge" (that's how she spelled it).

Do you remember the stories of Katrina victims using their red cross debit cards to buy LV shit?

And the whole hip/rap bling/ trademark /logo thing, don't even get me started.

So yes, lusting for luxury is the prevalent trend for the unwashed consumer masses.

On the prosumer level (editors, photographers, insiders, etc)

we see a strong attraction to vintage, slim fit, rock/punk, and absence of visible logos /decals

But since they all know the hot items/trends, they get a kick out of wearing something that only a select few know true value of.

Me, i'll just stick to what works for me- I'm all about fake shit and vintage that doesn't look it. And military, big time.
