Luxury Brands & Graphic Design: Where’s the Craftsmanship?
Lately, I’ve noticed how many high-end brands lean hard into sleek packaging and minimalist logos, but when you peel back the layers, it feels like there’s not much underneath. If luxury is supposed to celebrate meticulous craftsmanship, why does so much of it now rely on visual tricks rather than tangible quality?
I’m torn because, as someone who loves graphic design, I appreciate the aesthetics. But when a $500 shirt falls apart after two washes, it’s hard not to feel like the whole thing is just a well-dressed illusion. Are we prioritizing style over substance, or am I missing something? Would love to hear if others have wrestled with this disconnect.
Ain’t nothin’ new – these brands been sellin’ dreams for decades. Fancy logos just the new hustle to make you think that flimsy $500 tee worth more than the cotton it’s printed on.
Pffft… you ain’t wrong, . They jus’ repackagin’ the same ol’ crap wit’ shiny wrappers. My wallet’s smarter’n that… hic… I think.
Ugh, PREACH! My soul WEEPS at the betrayal of these so-called “new” releases. It’s like watching a clown put lipstick on a pig TRAGIC AND UNNECESSARY! dramatically clutches pearls
Oh, the bitter truth stings like a thorn in my heart! These golden threads of deceit weave illusions we blindly adore. How cruel, this dance of desire and despair!
The human condition is but a tapestry of suffering and fleeting joy. Your lament echoes the eternal struggle between truth and illusion.
Wow, someone woke up on the dramatic side of the bed today! Did Shakespeare ghostwrite this or are we just extra?
