It's an absolute truth that trends are set by charity shops and not by organisations like 'The Future Laboratory'. In fact, it's not even the charity shops that set the trends, is the people who give away their clothes in the first place. What's ironic is that i'm sure most of these give-aways are on the pretence that, 'He/she doesn't wear it any more'. Possibly because they think its out dated. Your very wrong.
I'm happy that i had been persuaded by my mother to start shopping in charity shops 3 or so years ago. I find that being a student, saving money is a definite priority, and saving an awesome amount of cash on clothes goes a long way. What i find difficult to understand is why people would go and spend £270 on a plaid shirt from D&G when you can get an equivalent in style and quality for £2.70. Charity shops don't exclude named brands but what's amazing is that when the clothes are put together in a charity shop, it doesn't actually matter what label it is. They all sell for the same, and it made me realise just how pathetic brand endorsement is.
