topshop

I kind of felt like writing something about this subject for a while, and especially this week since ive ended up in the big topshop in oxford street not once but twice, both times as exhausting and as painful as each other mostly due to the crowd surfing and waiting around.
Some People see the big topshop as sort of mecca of fashion and generally balm for the soul. Iam kind of one of those unfortunate people. Obviously i pretend i hate it and to be fair i dont generally end up buying much based on principal and the major overpricing, i just scilently cry. So on tuesday i had a little ' i hate topshop nd evey1 here ' fit, iam pretty sure we've all been there.
I do think topshop stands for a lot of good things that i generally admire about english fashion -the creativity, the importance of fashion for the sake of fashion rather than sex and attracting men. When i go back home my eyes get burned from all the flesh on show, here they get burned from the mismatched zebra prints. The thing is i dnt know whats more annoying. I love love clothes, precisly for the reason that it lets you be something else,and its fun, but then the urgence to be someone you clearly not in pink metal leggins that peple put n for the sake of getting away with it rather than because it makes them look prettier/classier/nicer/colourful brings out my nan in me.(who once blackmailed my little cousin into telling me i look horrible so i change my dress as it apparantly made me look like a parrot - true story ) The fact is you can spot a topshop fanatic a mile off,or u'll just be looking in the mirror or pretty much anywhere. Even if you dont have anything from topshop, u pretty much look like u do. Thts how our culture has been moulded into one big fat topshop lovefest, its this 'cheap-chip' try anything add messy hair and floral dress thing, and that is kinda how i dress too i guess.
I guess the problem of globalization is that we are all going to look the same pretty damn soon,and thats why when iam home in russia and people slag topshop off not for the same reasons they people slag it off here, but for the general hatred of the western mentality when it comes to dressing i kind f smile to myself. I mean dont get me wrong i dnt think i have any right to judge anyone when it comes to clothes . ITs just the fact that topshop is not taking over the world completely yet makes me happy,coz then there will not be enough gap between us all left to teach each other something, and that is the most important thing as far as iam concerned.
