The question is “alternative to what?” and most people don’t have an answer.

people have been making a fair point lately: “everyone wants to look alternative without being it.”
fashion used to be the business card of identifying yourself, nowadays people dress alternative and still are the very things the genres they like stand against

as a middle income american (low income new yorker) i've personally bought a lot from everlane, so i get it! have not yet & don't plan to buy from quince bc it feels even more egregious & reddit posters say those linen sheets everyone's on about get holes in them after 3 washes

lots of people defending quince in my replies, seemingly a mixture of bots and people who work in marketing and brand strategy. but anyway, the ceo sid gupta literally promotes quince as a company where "sustainability as a standard, not a luxury"!

not difficult to imagine if you consider what *kind* of boats docked there from the 1600s to 1827

It’s crazy to think the tip of Manhattan is the center of finance because it was literally where boats docked.

Yes!! I touch upon it in my piece on the dying middle market. You can’t market yourself on restraint and sustainable consumption when you take VC and PE funding which has the expectation of expansionary growth.

under shein, everlane's "radical transparency" means you get to read about the small child making your boring gray crewneck sweater
