Clothing Graveyard

There was an aticle in this weekends 'The Age' newspaper lamenting the fact that the fashion industry is collapsing under a mountain of rags. Janice Breen Burns writes
'Every month. Every week. Teen frock brands even boast they have refined their rip-off systems, can turn around a style from glossy-mag red-carpet paparazzi snap to rack in 10 days. Imagine. Ten days and 100,000 more units of puckered polyester destined within a year for the Salvos.'

It's true, I have been to my local op-shops and while one is constantly having a 50cent sale (all clothing and footwear for 50cents per item), the other is more expensive than the big box stores clearance racks. I have been to Myer's basement to check out the youth clothing department a few times since it has opened and a couple of times it looked truely like a clothing graveyard. Racks and racks of cheap t-shirts, leggins, dresses, etc. all made from different shades of interlock. I imagined their birth in a Chinese factory along with millions of others being churned out by an underpaid workforce. How many do they expect to sell I wonder?
Anyway, I will get back to my own clothing line. I hope to do a few more markets once the Bub is born (currently 1 week overdue!) but who knows, this could bring in a whole world of change I am just not expecting.
