I don't care if your rocking a 50L or a 5000L outfit, it's not and never will be how much you spent on it, but how you wear it. Don't think because your shoes costs more than your skin you look fab, cause honey it's just drab...
In real life I have seen many make Chanel look like bargain basement crap, and there are many on SL that do the same, to some very pricey yet horribly uninspiring pieces.
Clothing to me is the complete freedom of expression of the individual behind the avatar. As it is in real life. The brand you wear does not make or define you and doesn't define your social standing. What you wear should merely frame what is already there, the individual
My goal is not to discredit designers, but hope to point out their many lovely pieces and voice what I think can be done to improve future designs, giving the many readers/consumers the chance to be heard, and win some great gifts to their favourite stores.
SL gives us a very different way of judging items, the quality of a product is not merely in the fabric and the colours, exquisite details, shape and flow of a ensemble, but the ability for fashion to transcend the norms of real life fashion and take on it's own essence in SL.
If anything, we see the shift from merely copying real world fashion, to the creation of a very unique inworld fashion evolution. In SL it utilizes the intellect of programmers and the eyes of designers, creating a unique team dynamic or allowing an individual to transcend real world limitations.
To me all these factors combined is what makes a piece palpable, the uniqueness, the ability for the product to convey to all a sense of individuality, the details of the physical and scripted product to give all consumers that touch of being tended too and last but not least, customer service of a store, for it is your customers satisfaction, that promotes you and your product.
