Fashionism

Fashionism is an ideology rampant in the fashion industry that prioritizes commercial interests, conformity, and stifles genuine creativity. It is characterized by profit-driven motives, the suppression of innovative voices, and marginalization of independent artists. Fashionism perpetuates trend-driven consumerism, favoring mass production over craftsmanship and profit margins over artistic integrity. It hinders true innovation, diversity, and authentic artistic expression.
Etymology:
Coined by the renegade brand Treasonous Dzyne, Fashionism emerged as a critique of the industry's commercialism and stifling of creativity. Treasonous Dzyne, an underground collective of rebellious artists, aimed to expose the suffocating grip of profit-driven motives and standardization in fashion. Their vision challenged the status quo and attracted like-minded individuals.
"Fashionism" spread rapidly among those disillusioned by the industry's soulless nature. It became a rallying cry against the commodification of fashion, symbolizing the desire to break free from conformity and reclaim artistic integrity. In the urban fashion lexicon, "Fashionism" represented defiance and the fight for authenticity, individuality, and creative liberation.
This movement united artists and designers striving to rewrite the rules and bring true artistry to the forefront. Fashionism" empowers artistic rejuvenation and diverse expression.
Fashionism has permeated the fashion industry, dictating trends, standards, and creative directions. It imposes a straitjacket on the imagination and limits the opportunities for artists to thrive.

Under the oppressive influence of Fashionism, the industry becomes an assembly line of diluted designs and recycled ideas, hindering the emergence of fresh perspectives and original voices.

Critics and advocates alike decry the suffocating impact of Fashionism, calling for a revolution that restores the industry's creative spirit and nurtures the talents of genuine artists.

Old Fashioned Kathy

When Stromboli's mom gives you a handy, but uses her patented kung Fu grip to make you nut quicker. The perfect grip strength, not too hard and not too soft.
After work I am going to head over to Stromboli's house for an Old Fashioned Kathy.

The Heighth of Fashion

What Alex and his droogs wear in Anthony Burgess' novel, A Clockwork Orange.
"The four of us were dressed in the heighth of fashion,
which in those days was a pair of black very tight tights
with the old jelly mould, as we called it, fitting on the crutch
underneath the tights, this being to protect and also a sort
of a design you could viddy clear enough in a certain light,
so that I had one in the shape of a spider, Pete had a rooker
(a hand, that is), Georgie had a very fancy one of a flower,
and poor old Dim had a very hound-and-horny one of a
clown's litso (face, that is), Dim not ever having much of an
idea of things and being, beyond all shadow of a doubting
thomas, the dimmest of we four. Then we wore waisty
jackets without lapels but with these very big built-up
shoulders ('pletchoes' we called them) which were a kind of
a mockery of having real shoulders like that. Then, my
brothers, we had these off-white cravats which looked like
whipped-up kartoffel or spud with a sort of a design made
on it with a fork. We wore our hair not too long and we had
flip horrorshow boots for kicking." -

toddler fashion

When somebody's fit is put together so poorly it resembles something an infant would wear if they dressed themselves.
Heels stuck in the bottom of their pants, dragging. Belt buckle off to the side and not centered. Misaligned buttons on a button down. Shirts on backwards and/or inside out. This is all toddler fashion.
