I know that most of you reject marketing biased material since it would a socialization effect to accept the image or symbol of the power of a supremacy of a private company over a collectivity or class of individuals by a mere identification of a artificial identity orientated by the value of patriarchal kinship of a logo in it's inter-subjectivity with a interdisciplinary team of scientific in humanities, social sciences and natural science to integrate a product that represent unconsciously of consciously  the ''interests'' of a sector of the population.


That's why I mostly distinguish between objective value based on perception of a brand and subjective  in using the criteria of the stock value of the company. As I see Balmain is NOT a high selling brand since it's marketing focus is elitist class, it's leading designer is little experienced Mr. Roustein 27 years old.


I understand the process of quality of a clothe that it's not only a lieu of fabric, but that the artisan who produced it have an huge impact as well as the premiere material.


For me it's mostly comprehensive to observe that the majority here reject fashion house based on economic, ethic, psychological and sociological perspective.


I also integrate that information it just seems hard for me to resist psychologically to the temptation, I guess I'm still a socialized person after all..


Sorry if that kind of analysis is not accepted here I'm not familiarized with the standards/norms this forum use.

This was entirely incomprehensible but I can tell you that you're definitely overthinking it. The jacket looks lifeless and cheap, like Zara or Express and certainly not worth hundreds, let alone thousands

Of course, the marketing campaign of most fashion house is to give an attract or a subjective value based on perception higher than what it really is. As I did pointed out previously, the superposition of individuals I see here reflect some kind of relativism by anti-conformism by the view of the collectivity that is mostly permeable to that kind of message and unconscious of it's psychological effect, attachment by some freudian model to an impersonal Super-Ego.

I agree with all of you that this kind of message was not appropriated for the context, but it's in my opinion a powerful and valuable well-articulate/profound thought.

For me It's pretty funny to observe the marginalization of the out-of-norms conformism people on either opposite poles.

It's not because you don't understand that it's not valid.

 
I teach critical theory and art history at a good university and specialise in theories of the body & display - I can thus say with some confidence that I think you have a language issue, as (trust me) you're talking nonsense.

Your message seems pretty vague, you can't conclude that everything I said is non-sense, perhaps for some parts of it you don't understand and I won't go over everything again just to explain my point which I guess could be elaborate in order to grasp the essence of it. I'd be happy to do so if you demonstrate an interest for it through private message otherwise it would not fit or suit the purpose, expectation of others who mostly can't appreciate it not because of capacity, but specified interest and methodology of processing information.

One of you CS people should put together a DavidMed Post Generator (I'd imagine it would be similar to this), then we can all be DavidMed
