How many of us buy clothes based on the brand? Everyday people go into the malls and buy celebrity clothing becasue of the name. Some of these artists aren't even majored in high fashion but because of their name and connections people everywhere buy their clothing.
Recently in the news from MSNBC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled kids hooded sweat shirts from Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers line. A singer may I add is the owner of this clothing line that sold these hoodies for $75 that had the capabilities of killing many children. They have a drawstring through the hood that can pose a strangulation hazard for many children. Although no injuries have been reported I still believe this is a harmful world we live in for many reasons.
How can a singer who may have no experience with clothing have her own clothing line? Easy, she has the right connections. Many people bought the hoodies not because they thought it was safe or comfortable for their child but beacsue of the name. Due to her jackets, many kids could have been dangered and at the same time many other designers were cheated becaue someone bought hers and no theirs becasue of the name. Therfore, unfair treatment once again goes to the celebrities.

I agree! Everyone usually buys an article of clothing because of the name it holds! And as for Stefani trying to murder children...INSANE!!!! None of these celebrities have experience and yet they act they know everything! All i know is...MONEY TALKS!!
ReplyDeletei have definately been guilty of buying cloths from well known celebrities. However, why stop there? I also buy shoes, furniture, sheets, pots and pans (everyday living from Martha Stewart) and if a favorite celebrity is on the cover of a magazine i usually don't read..i'm definately buying it! What can i say, i'm a victim and a sap for anything with name recognition, a stutus symbol perhaps? who knows!
