Fashion Victim, summary 1, p1-p20
ACCORDING to chapter 1 from “Fashion Victim”(2003), the writer, Michelle Lee, expatiated ten commandments of the Fashion Victim. He said many brands produced cheap chic but these goods were still at several times the price. Sometimes, they severed something for other purpose, but useless actually, Lee pointed. He also stated that we seemed to have a lot of different cloth, but in fact, we just had the same type. It was stupid for people, Lee argued, when they followed the label trustfully. We knew from the writer that Fashion victims usually lost their own ideas and the validation of their stylishness came from designers’. These victims also “throw money into a bottomless pit” (Michelle Lee, p10, “Fashion Victim”) when they had paid a lot of money on kids’ and pets’ exorbitant. Lee complained that people bought supersneakers with high prices, just for their new function or material. That was unnecessary. If a victim loved buying purchase with famous logo, he or she would “be a walking billboard” (Michelle Lee, p12, “Fashion Victim”). The writer persuaded that people should not merely follow the famous’ dressing style because some of them just had great resources. Lee also disagreed that costumers bought things depend on ads. In Chapter 2, Michelle Lee would discuss how we got fashion.
