Fashion and psychoanalysis


What is Psychoanalysis?
It is a psychological theory which investigates the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements in the mind in order to treat mental disorders.

What is the psychoanalysis of fashion? 
The psychoanalysis of the fashion industry is the ever wanting need to buy clothing. It is deemed desirable to have a never-ending amount of clothing. Generally with this mindset the environmental and global impacts of the fashion industry are overlooked and people are wasteful and careless.

It is cheaper to throw away into a landfill than to sort through clothing to recycle.

The lecture at hand was extremely interesting and informing, facing us with the dilemma of embracing or fighting the consuming fashion society. Are we going to ignore the negative effects of the industry or help change them?
