Susie Bubble's Style Bubble blog has some interesting commentary on the Hong Kong label fixation. It turns out that Monday, a Hong Kong lifestyle magazine, publishes brand specific supplements detailing every single item of a certain brand that you could wear. According to Susie, they do this without any advertising money from the brand itself (surely this couldn't be right?!?).
Susie says:
It's things like this that make me really cringe about Hong Kong fashion, which unfortunately largely revolves around how many labels you can carry around. Who cares about the design aesthetic or the beauty of a garment when you could be wearing a Burberry Blue Label nylon baugette with a Gucci wallet inside, a Vivienne Westwood phonechain on the latest Samsung, a Louis Vuitton makeup case, not forgetting the Burberry London glasses case as well!
Crazy. Why would you value your style based on what brand you wear? Why spend all the money just for a label, instead of for something that makes you look good?
