Well, statistically majority of world population comes under poor/middle class people.So there is no question they will look for something cheap and can be use often.Custom made sewing is expensive ,it takes time, effort ,money and originality,which again is rare in today’s era.
I often wonder how McQueen,Yves sant Laurent,coco chanel and many other big designers do ton of shows and survive to come up with different collections every year.There is elite crowd who buys from world renowned Designer’s.while watching their shows I wonder how do they manage to sell such exclusive and expensive stuff every year.If they would have not been managing to sell, there would haven’t been any market for high end designers.
It concludes their is market for haute couture,fast fashion,street style etc.And to be honest fashion world has become more cluttered, exhausting , competitive but if there is a passion for fashion,then one must dive into deep water to see if they can reach the shore again.
