3 Symbolic Items Showing Fashion Has Gone On The 'Cheap' Path

From Balenciaga's cheap-looking travel bag to Vetement's DHL delivery clothes, it's not strange to think that the richest fashion industry is now competing to be "poorer"? Let's get a closer look at how these luxury fashion brands are now pretending to be "poor".

1. Celine's PVG handbag

What's more fashionable than PVC bag in 2018? With a logo on the PVC tote, you're the shiniest among all! The Celine PVC tote allows fashionistas to actually show others what's in their bags. Some of them even put a bag in this bag to create layers and attract eyes. It actually serves as a filter that creates the mysterious feeling for whatever is inside. You'll fall for the interesting design without even criticizing the expensive price.

Think of this bag as a tool you use to make your Instagram more internet-celebrity ish and adds this casual feeling to the fashion world.

2. LOEWE's basket bag

This looks like just some random weaved basket bag that you can find in H&M or ZARA with just a few bucks. But with the brand LOEWE, this bag is easily hyped to hundred dollars, which is a rather fair price compared to other brands' basket-like bags.

It's like a bag you can take to picnic and countryside with a bicycle, but that's just the kind of feeling that will boost your social media posts. It's simply because infusing luxury with country life is an exciting conflict to create.

It's just my perfect bag choice to post on my Instagram account because it's a style that I've never tried.

Don't you relate to the basket bag that our grandmas carry to buy groceries? But the leather logo Loewe just suddenly makes this same-ish basket bag a lot more luxurious.

3. Vetements fishnet bag

Fishnet is not a new element in the fashion world. Since 2016, Kendall Jenner and all these models had hyped the fishnet socks to a peak. I remember I spent 50 bucks just to get a pair of those socks, which I see as stupid things now. However, Vetements has reused this element and makes a bag out of it.

This little tiny bag costs thousands of dollars but people are still crazy about it because it's VETEMENTS!

Well the only concern to me with this bag is that will the fishnet hole become bigger and bigger? And how am I gonna put really tiny stuff within it? Say a pin or a candy. But I guess people who bought this bag wouldn't really think about its functionality, the posing is all they need.

The fashion industry is always changing. It changes to be stranger and stranger. There's never the most strange, but only stranger the next season. Our senses and understandings are challenged by the trends of fashion all the time, but still, we fall for it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
