I-Tommy Hilfiger Preppy Pop House kwiPiazza Duomo eMilan, e-Itali.UVittorio Zunino Celotto / Getty / UTommy Hilfiger I-preppy, indawo yokunxiba enxibe ngathi ijongene nokunyuka kweshishini. Isitayile sasipapashwa kumashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo ngongasekhoyo Lilly Pulitzer (Usweleke ngo-2013), othumele indlela yePalm Beach-to-Nantucket yokunxiba kwimpumelelo enkulu. Ngoku, abantu abatsha abaninzi baye batsibela kwi-bandwagon kwaye babalekela umgca wokugqibela onenzuzo.
Kwabo abangaqhelekanga ngomkhwa, kuba awuphumi kuyo nayiphi na idolophu esezidolophini apho uhlala khona, ndiza kuzama ukuyichaza. Inkangeleko indala i-WASP njengoko inxitywe ngabakhethiweyo kwiindawo ezinjenge-Edgartown, eMassachusetts; Isiqithi sabalobi, eNew York; IHobe Sound, eFlorida, kunye noluntu lwabo lokomoya. Abantu kwezi ndawo babenemali eninzi, bahlala bezenzela izizukulwana, kwaye bekhuselekile ngokupheleleyo kwimeko yabo ekuhlaleni. BabengooBrahmins baseMelika-bahlala beyinzala kaMayflower okanye abo bafika kwakamsinya emva koko. Babedla ngokuzixakekisa kwiiklabhu zabo zechach kunye neetennis. Bahamba ngomkhombe I-Wianno yeenyawo ezingama-25 zeenyawo , kwaye ukuba awuyazi into yokuba yintoni i-gaff rig awungomnye wabo. Ngokuqhelekileyo batshata omnye komnye ukugcina i-blond, i-thin and square-jawed gene pool ihambelana. Eli qela yayi luhlobo lokuqhuba iiDodges zalo ezinomhlwa emhlabeni ngelixa zazinezigidi ezilishumi zezabelo zecuba laseMelika elinikwe ootatomkhulu babo kwipotifoliyo.
Isitshixo sefashoni yayiyibhulukhwe ebomvu, eluhlaza okanye emthubi enamadoda (amafutshane okanye amade) kunye nelokhwe enemibala eqaqambileyo enxibe i-pastel okanye itoni ephezulu yabafazi. Kwakukho, ewe, ijezi ezinemibala eqaqambileyo kunye neehempe zelinen zokuhamba nazo. Rhoqo bekukho ukuhonjiswa kwemizobo emincinci ebonisa iminenga okanye iirakethi zetenisi. Intamo yabasebenzi yagxininiswa, njengoko ikhebula lalilukiwe. Kwakukho, ngaphandle kwePulitzer, akukho magama ayiliweyo okanye iilebheli ezinxulumene nesitayile.

Iimpahla zazisenziwa kakuhle zize zithengiswe ezivenkileni zasekuhlaleni. Okanye ukuba ubusedolophini, okt iNew York, ungayifumana le ndlela kuPaul Stuart okanye kwi-pre-conglomerate Brooks Bros. Isimbo sasiyi-de rigeur kwezi dolophu zichazwe sele zinamashumi eminyaka, kwaye kwakungekho mzamo wokuthumela ngaphandle oku isitayile okanye ungenise entsha.
Sika namhlanje. Iimpawu zefashoni ezinje ngeVineyard Vines, uJ.McLaughlin, uBrooks Brothers, uJ. Press nabanye baye bamkela i-town-resort prep. Pulitzer, umgca owenziwe nguLilly, nawo usekuzingeleni. Kubonakala, ngokusekwe kwimpumelelo yeVineyard Vines (ineevenkile zayo eziyi-102 kunye nokubala), kukho intengiso enomdla ye-wannabe yemali yefashistas endala. Yindawo yokuphumla elingana noko kwenziwa nguRalph Lauren kwisitayile sendlu yelizwe lesiNgesi iOlde.
Kodwa abanxibi bezi mpahla banenkxalabo yokuziphatha abanokucinga ngayo: Iipesenti ezingama-99 zazo zonke iimpahla zenziwe eChina okanye kwamanye amazwe anemivuzo ephantsi. Nkqu neeBermuda ezimfutshane ezimfutshane zeTab zeBermuda ngoku zenziwe eChina. Akukho nto yenziwe nangubani na kuluntu apho ezi ntengiso zithengisa khona izinto zazo. NguJ.McLaughlin kuphela obanga ukuba wenza nantoni na ekhaya kumzi mveliso waseBrooklyn. Nangona kunjalo, kuvavanyo olukhawulezileyo lwevenkile yabo yaseSouthampton kubonakala ngathi yonke into yenziwe e-China, India, okanye ePeru. Iidyasi zamadoda abo zivela ePortugal. Khange ndibone ngubo inye eyenziwe nge-Made in U.S.A. tag yemvelaphi.
Ithetha ukuthini le nto, kukuba imbonakalo yefashoni eyenziwe ngabapatriki baseMelika ngokwabo, kwaye ngoku ikhutshelwe yi-hoi polloi, izinzile kuphela xa umntu enegalelo kwintshabalalo yezoqoqosho nezopolitiko.
I-China, ngokomongameli wethu, ithatha imisebenzi kwaye iguqulela iMelika kwilizwe lesithathu. I-China ichitha amakhulu ezigidi zezigidi ukwakha umkhosi oza kusichasa kuLwandle lwase China lwase China nakwilizwe liphela. Bakhuthaza kwaye bakhusele iNorth Korea, ethembisa ukusitshabalalisa ngeebhombu zenyukliya (babanga ukuba iNantucket sele ifikelelekile), iChina ityakatya iimbongi zayo eziphikisanayo kunye namagqwetha amalungelo abantu, avalela amaKristu, eba amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza aseMelika, ethintela ubuchwephesha bezithuthi zethu kwezorhwebo, kwaye uyayichasa imigaqo-nkqubo yase-US yokuwisa oozwilakhe ekubulaweni kwabantu kuyo yonke indawo- kwaye uluhlu luphezulu kwentloko yam.
Ke imali yakudala, imbonakalo yamanenekazi aseMelika ngoku iziswa lutshaba lwakho lwezopolitiko nezoqoqosho. Ukungathandani kwaphela; indlela idiotic. Kuhle ukuba UEmma Watson uxhalabile ngozinzo lwempahla nokusingqongileyo, kodwa ngubani oxhalabileyo ngendleko zomntu zokukhawulezisa yonke le misebenzi?
Ngokuqinisekileyo kuyaqondakala ukuba abantu bafuna iimpahla ezinamaxabiso aphantsi, kodwa ngaba ukulinganisa indlela yokuphila ye-WASP kufuneka ibekho kwelo xabiso? Asithethi ngeempahla zeentsapho ezinemivuzo ephantsi eziya esikolweni okanye ezisebenza apha, sithetha ngempahla yokuhombisa, i-ice-cream cone ngesandla, ezantsi kwezitalato ezinamatye zaseNantucket okanye iindlela ezibanzi ezinamagqabi zase-Edgartown . Iivenkile ezithengisa le fashoni zikwindawo ezinqwenelekayo eziphezulu. Luphi ulwazi lokuziphatha ngesigqibo sokuthenga? Njengoko ndiyibona, lo mnqweno wokuthenga indlela yokuphila yolonwabo kwizipili ezishibhileyo iziphumo ezoyikisayo zeshishini lemfashini ekhawulezayo: konke okwam. Ulibale malunga nabenzi bempahla yokwenene.
Njengephepha lophando oluqaqambileyo Umothuko wase China ibonisa, ukulahleka kwale misebenzi yokuvelisa kuye kwaba nefuthe elibi kwiindawo zaseMelika. Ilahleko, ngokutsho kwabaphandi, inegalelo kwingxaki ye-opioid, ukunyuka kweentsapho eziqhekekileyo, kunye nokonakaliswa koluntu olunabasebenzi abaphantsi.
Ke, unayo. Uhlobo lwefashoni olusekwe kukuzibhubhisa. Intle kangakanani.
Ngendlela, kukho inkampani enye yefashoni eyenza iimpahla kule nkangeleko. U-Old Bull Lee ubanga ukuba kunjalo yenziwe eMelika . Oko kum kukunethezeka kokuziphatha, kwaye kuyinto entle ukuba nesimilo.
