        the world where everyone is happy would be awesome, I get it. but you can't change shit by just being true to yourself, living the good lifestyle, arguing on forums, etc. you won't start a worldwide riot with that. if all that makes you feel like a better person - fine, great. but please, don't tell the others that they are ignorant assholes, because that's how it sounds.

        and hey, they still work for the money, right? minimum living wage or not, they have jobs. do you guys really care about the people? you don't know them, you won't see them. maybe it's just the origin of the clothes itself - you don't want them to be made by those people?

        haven't been there since 2009 i guess. i needed to refresh my daily wardrobe with some cheap good looking clothes, mostly for usual life shit (nothing fancy or trendy), and i wanted this problem to be solved quickly (rick keeps me busy enough).

        i love to blend in just as much as i love to stand out, and to always look like my spaceship just crash landed and I'm wandering around the city is not my goal.

        drkshdw quality is far from being great, seams, threads, all that. i'm not talking about the design, it's how the clothes feel. usually I can't justify the retail price.

            Why don't you replace Zara with AA? Prices are similar - online sales are almost weekly - and you're not supporting the inhumane cruelty that keeps fast fashion alive..

                Because AA doesn't sell knockoffs

                  i could go to mr. porter instead and buy similar items for 10x more money, and most people wouldn't tell the difference (ok I know how it sounds). but i'm not interested enough, that's not my field. and it's not like i'm going full fahshun killa in zara, you guys are overplaying it just because of the brand. i got the most basic stuff possible. i love my disguise.

                  there are no AA shops in my country, and zara is literally everywhere - so when once in a while I decide to buy a few basic outfits for grocery shopping etc., I prefer it to be safe and simple.

                    What about AA fabric though? We know the garments themselves are humane, but what of the farmers/pickers/makers of the raw material and then the people who weave them into fabric?

                      I don't own/know anything about AA so I can't comment on that but that idea expands to literally every piece of clothing.

                          aren't they going out of business now?

                          oh and delicious_snot, why not hop on over to 4chan or reddit instead.

                            No, but they are regrouping.

                              They just hired a colleague of my girlfriend on triple her current salary. I wouldn't say they're going out of business, as mentioned re-grouping.
