F-F-F Fashion

Apropos of nothing, I remain convinced that the entire purpose of the fashion industry is to convince people to buy new clothes, when they still have a closet-full of perfectly serviceable old ones.

That in itself is not the problem. The fashion industry is a branch of the entertainment industry, and if people choose to spend too much money on entertainment, that's their mistake. The problem is the extraordinarily abusive, physically and psychologically destructive methods that the industry has developed to achieve its ends. It's become pretty well the only legal industry I can think of that's built directly on life-threatening psychological disorders.
