The time of fashion is over, people tired of the always new, the rotations of consumption. The bow is overdrawn: "Too much - too much!“ we shout, as we fall back into our seat tired from the noise of our time, to shut our eyes and ears. Before fashion there was crafts. The too little, the absence. What was there had to be good, to be preserved over time. Manufacture: handmade. Not always buying new –looking after something, repairing, mending were virtues of time. A pair of shoes to last a lifetime. Preindustrial life ran smoothly, structured. With the industrial revolution, came the efficiency of mechanization and step by step more could be produced; more than people needed. Prosperity spread out over social classes. The “surge” for the “great –more".
More or less. More, but less. Quality decreases, the amount increases. At the end of the high frequency of the ever new, the waves of fashion generated by advertising, in order to obtain the consumption upright when demand is covered.
If the market is saturated, small changes help to secure sales: delimitations in the smallest space. It don’t have to be shoes, but red shoes, shoes with buckles and eyelets. Eachseason, a different color, different shape, until pre-season sale and the new goes directly to the junk.
At the end of this development there we are, and without that it would take us back to the Middle Ages, it takes us back towards quality and the consciously "less is more": For better, for quality, for which one consciously chooses. Good and valuable, good and cheap, because of quality.
The product, whose story is well known, with a face and character. Authenticity is the key word of the new era. Enlightened consumers who want to know what is behind and in the products – that don’t want to hear retouched glossy stories.
