Dear Fashion Week,
Please advise your stuck up designers and participants to do something better for the world instead of showcasing pieces of unreasonably overpriced fabric on women who get paid to starve and purge themselves. Maybe, Fashion Week should take place in a country where food IS scarce and women are sickly and "naturally" thin due to the lack of resources and nourishment, and while you are at it - feed them and the other starving people of that country.
For as long as the fashion world insists on showcasing overpriced "must-have trends of the season" on unrealistic and malnourished looking women, we will continue to see credit card debt (you can thank Manolo Blahnik for selling you heels that hurt your feet starting at $800 and up and Chanel for selling you a bag starting at $2000 and up) as well as countless eating disorders, diet fads and diet products that are dangerous and cause people to go to the hospital.
I demand that from now on, all Fashion Week shows must include the following disclaimer:
Fashion Week may cause such side effects as:
aggressiveness, anxiety, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, chest pain, cocaine abuse, credit card debt, decreased sex drive, decreased appetite, depression, difficulty swallowing, headache, high blood pressure, migraine, nausea, nervousness, nose bleed, pain, paranoia, plastic surgery, rapid mood shifts, thoughts of harming yourself, etc.
Unfortunately, this probably won't change much since most prescription medicines come with these disclaimers and people still insist on abusing prescription pills ;)
It is a beautiful, beautiful world.
