Vintage vs Made in China

i've been looking for clothes yesterday and today and it has suddenly occurred to me why vintage is so in demand. when you said salvation army to me the other day i thought, yes, why not? for a while now actually, because of the bad quality standardised clothing in the shops. this is something i've really noticed over the last couple of years. cheap fabrics, finishes, the lot. clothing is no different to cars, fridges, washing machine, comp and tv - short life products to fuel capitalist growth. the standardisation is horrific. it's like cloning. not just stepford wives but stepford societies, and thinking even. everything is the same. has an effect on my psyche, really...


everyone buying food from farmers markets, custom made furniture and clothing, vintage anything, is in rebellion against capitalist standardisation. if the most saleable thing has a look, then every producer will mimic this 'look' in order to compete. then you end up with various versions of this 'look', but without any choice.


vintage shopping aside, i think that an anti capitalist backlash will occur not by protest in the streets but with people buying sewing machines and learning how to knit. i think there will be a revival in traditional crafts. i think they'll be growing their own (organic) food wherever possible and breeding chickens. making furniture. building their own houses like the man below. a house for £3000?
