My topic for this week is do designers have a responsibility to make their clothes affordable? It seems like they do. I think that it would be fair if high-end fashion designers and companies lowered their prices for all items. I say this because most people in the world do not have the same wealth to buy expensive clothes. For example, the price of a Ferragamo belt is about $300-$400. That amount for a belt is too expensive for most people, except for the people who are wealthy. A person who wants to dress up nice and good with friends may feel left out because his/ her friends who have on high-end designer clothes, and they don’t.
There should be a change in the pricing of high-end brands to make it possible for everyone to wear nice fashionable clothes. Hopefully, in the near future, this will change. Everyone could be happy with access to these nice brands. High End designers such as Louis Vuttion and Ferragamo have nice expensive clothing wear, but I hope in the near future they could lower prices so everyone can wear their clothes. This is an issue that we see a lot in schools where poorer kids do not have nice clothes like their friends. If designers would make clothes for the kids and their families, they could do a lot to make their kids feel good about themselves. Everyone wants to look and feel nice. I feel like everyone should reach out to high fashion designers so they can lower the prices of their items.
