Melbourne: Fashion Revolution Day

Melbourne - iPhone diary

There are so many things to notice about Melbourne.  The hoards of coffee shops with bearded baristas, the dirty urban areas, the generally rather stylish people, the trams that are ready to run you down if you even dare cross when there's a little red man, the percentage of cigarette smokers (it's so high! gross), and plenty more.

One thing I chanced upon the other day and couldn't help but notice was H&M's mammoth store.  The sign in the window showed a dress from the H&M Conscious line, so I curiously entered the shop.  Upon entering, I couldn't help but notice the bizarre contrast (I could use the word juxtaposition, but that would be terribly year 12 english) between the H&M Conscious line & the racks of $2! $5! $7! So! Many! Exclamation! Marks!

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with the above scenario.  Picture it for yourself, is it even that unusual?  How often do we buy something "cheap & nasty" to finish an outfit?  One of my favourite invented phrases is if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true, so apply that to prices.  If your dress couldn't possibly cost $15, who's losing out here?


Today is Fashion Revolution Day.  Who made your clothes?  #fashrev
