Ugly Betty-style high fashion seems to be all the rage these days
-
"Everything that Betty was ridiculed for — being economical and dressing to honor her heritage — is now desirable in high fashion because they’ve seen what she knew all along: Everyday shoppers aren’t going to shell out thousands for luxury fashion," says Joseph Longo. "Think of all the rich suburban kids shopping at thrift stores now and selling their dad’s old clothes on Depop — they’re doing so because frugal fashion isn’t just cool, it’s a hallmark of how progressive you are."
