But when you get right down to things, you don't really need clothes that don't come off the shelf at Walmart for a few bucks instead of several-thousand-dollar suits from Giorgio Armani or other European designers, you don't need $200 Nikes instead of $20 Walmart shoes in most cases, a cheap Korean or Indian car that has anything more than four wheels and an engine instead of a luxury car boasting "German engineering"... or some crappy little Chinese cell phone, for that matter.
Fashion has always been about branding, both from the companies making a case that their name is worth a lot of money, as well as from consumers who want (or need; in some social/career circles you need to dress for success) that kind of branding to be taken seriously in their social circles.
