High Fashion Isn’t Art Don’t let the glamour of high fashion fool you, as it often conceals profound challenges. Creativity becomes a casualty, caught in the relentless schedules and overworked design teams. The perpetual demand for a new collection at least 4 times a year squeezes the life out of thoughtful, innovative design, reducing collections to hurried reflections bound by the constraints of time. Quantity overwhelmingly dominates quality as major fashion houses unleash staggering collections. The pressure to deliver multiple expansive showcases annually dilutes the essence of each piece. In this volume-driven model, substance is often sacrificed for sheer quantity, fostering a culture of excess that risks compromising the intrinsic value of the art. Ideas theft further stains the creative landscape, with larger brands frequently under scrutiny for appropriating concepts from smaller, independent creators. This power dynamic fosters the exploitation of innovative minds, robbing them of due credit and perpetuating an unequal playing field. The lack of diversity at the industry's helm is glaring, with creative directors and designers predominantly hailing from the demographic of white men. This systemic imbalance not only stifles diverse voices but also limits the industry's capacity for authentic, inclusive storytelling. Challenging the romanticized notion of high fashion as pure art demands a reckoning with these systemic flaws. Let's collectively reshape an industry where creativity flourishes authentically, where ideas are not just acknowledged but honored, and where diversity isn't merely a buzzword but an intrinsic and celebrated part of the narrative.
