This advertisment for TJ Maxx presents one view of how society reacts to designer stores compared to stores that are not. Although stores such as TJ Maxx offer designer products at a fraction of the price, some people look lowly on people who shop at overstock stores because they are not designer labels, and buying designer labels is a symbol of wealth and essentially success. For some people, buying clothing from department stores seems as though someone is trying to create an image for themselves that is not authentic and they try to take a place in society where they do not belong. Society has made fashion a display of wealth rather than a display of people's unique styles, which has also changed what designs and styles are popular among society and is a major contributor to the changes and evolution of fashion in the past century.
Does your fashion say more about your personality or your place in society?
