In case you missed it, this was an incredible @amandamull story in The Atlantic about the direct effects of lighting-fast fashion cycles on creating our current joyless aesthetics in clothing

The theory here is that ultra-fast fashion results not just in bursts of "sameness" but puts the market's focus on specific ornamental details like puffy sleeves because those details can be adapted to a wide range of garments across quality, price, and sizing.

@wdavidmarx @amandamull Iโ€™m in my sixties. I refuse puffed sleeves. Flutter sleeves, any iteration of girly sleeves. WTH, weโ€™re adults, not children.

@wdavidmarx @amandamull Well I love a sleeve. Puffed, big, dramatic. But I do try to avoid fast fashion to whatever degree possible.
