Luxury Fashion is For Broke People

[Family Lives Matter]

Go Dubai and tell them they broke and nobody buys luxury goods

 

[Rn.]

Cap

Just go to the airport and you will see so many white people wearing high fashion brands with big logos on them. lol.

Why do dumb people who think they're smart bring up this falsehood every few months?

I think what people really mean is that rich people tend to buy the less ostentatious or gaudy items.

So they might buy expensive brands. They're probably not buying the stuff with the big logos everywhere that screams to the world what it is.

Bingo

The thing is..rich money different colour than poor money. Someone like Bill Gates spending 50k is equivalent to you spending 50 cents. Luxury items to you are basic to them..now when u start talking mega yachts, helicopters, islands

i wonder how much does it really cost to make quality clothing and the material cost?

Post above answers this mostly

Cosign. The people who say shyt like this have never spent time around a rich person. I had a rich friend who I thought was super conservative with his money becuase he didn't wear anything with labels or never wore expensive jewelry. One day I looked at the tag of a random sweater he had and that shyt was like $1500. A few months later he showed me 100k patek phillipe he bought (looks like a watch you'd find at walmart).

Can y'all stop using people worth 100B wearing an expensive article of clothing to (small) new money, let alone people 3-6 months away from being on the street?

They can’t. This is a classic trope to shyt on black people

Yep, designer brands certainly cater to wealthy people, but they always market the more gaudy logo centric stuff to the middle class.
They target both audiences not just one.
Wealthy people look at a gucci shirt with a giant logo on it as bargin bin gucci. They still buy gucci themselves just not that stuff.

If u drive around Hollywood hills and Beverly Hills around the stores, u see a lot of rich people with expensive shyt.. it don’t have to be the brands u hear rappers talk about or ghetto bytches assume are name brands because thats all they know

You’ll be shock when u walk in a beverly hills store and see a pair of pants by someone u dont know like Billy Ray jeans or Mcmillian suits and the price be like $500 or $2000

I deal in rich ppl and upper middle class. All have plenty of disposable income after investing and saving and yes about 85% all have designer things. Very few outside of the wives bags etc rock loud or logo heavy pieces however.

At what point do people stop pathologizing black people. No, broke people and black people aren't the only ones buying fashion brands. Having Paris Hilton and the Kardashians in your face for two decades should have been enough to convince people that rich people buy luxury all the time. People bring up Bill Gates' fashion as if he's not wearing relatively expensive clothing, not to mention the 100 car garage he has.

The rich men I know aren't buying Gucci anything but they are wearing luxury brands that normal people don't recognize. They all have multiple bespoke suits, they all wear luxury watches that rappers don't rap about (Vacheron Constantin), and they drive BMWs.
