I wouldn't have paid much attention but apparently they found and talked to the guy who wrote it... Of course that could be staged too but it seems less likely.
In any case, human rights and environmental issues are enough to keep me from buying MIC goods as much as possible.

Last September, the fashion magazine Teen Vogue worked with Goldman Sachs in a survey of young women ages 13 to 29 to come up with a list of the most popular brands sought by the cohort. Both Target and Louis Vuitton made the top 20 list.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I'm pretty exhausted now, but I don't want to let the moment pass, so I'll take my chances with sloppy thinking.
Faust, you didn't have an animated face at the end of this, so I'll have to take your reporting at face value.
I think its great that Target and LV made the top 20. Not either one in particular but the extremes are important. Whatever their economic bracket, people want something nice, something new-even if its just new to them. Responsible production should enter the equation more, but, judging from posts on other forums, that can be lacking on all economic levels.
Can you expect design purity/originality at the lower end? Could you find enough of an audience without brands at a higher level, more cachet creating an interest and visibility? If you came up with something fresh at the low end, how soon before the high end appropriates it? What % of women and men in their early 20s aspire to glamour and flash when they are just starting to make their way in the world financially and socially? I got more worked up reading in another thread how wearers and viewers of expensive watches (and I'm not talking about the young gentleman with his Royal Oak- I didn't get any attitude) have expectations due to an obvious economic statement.
I'm beat, I'll take whatever lumps follow.

I think you maybe reading in too much into this (my post was unironic, this is the fashion business thread). I think the list simply bespeaks mass taste - meaning that the masses, who are not well off, will shop at a low end, of course, but if they want to splurge once a year, say for a birthday or Christmas, they will go for the lowest common denominator of luxury - Louis Vuitton if they have any semblance of taste, Michael Kors or Tory Burch (I have not seen the full list, but I suspect they are on it) if they have none.
I think that's all there is to it. I'm not judging by the way, these is simply an observation of a mix of economic condition, shopping habits, and mass views on "fashion."Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
