I too have wondered about this for years. Shouldn't the company (Hilfiger, Lauren, DKNY, Miller Beer, Harley-Davidson, etc.) pay YOU to wear their clothes? I mean, is this just a greatest advertising scam ever? And since there's three million people out there wearing the same stuff, is it supposed to make you feel special? A few years ago, at my daughter-in-law's college graduation, James Reston was the commencement speaker. He gave one of those standard (although, in his case, quite funny) lists of ten things to do after graduation to have a happy life. One of his things was "never wear clothing that talks." Excellent advice.
