No Matter How Much Time Passes
Greetings, everyone. There's something I've never been able to understand, from my childhood to this very day. Why do people spend a lot of money to buy clothes that are all tattered and torn??? Some people even intentionally cut up their nice garments. I simply cannot comprehend it... If they were to knit the cut-off parts to make them stylish, I might try to understand it if it looked cute. I naturally understand wearing beloved clothes while repairing them. It's also understandable that they become worn out because they can't be repaired anymore. I, too, am a noble of modest means, and I cherish and continue to wear good clothes regardless of trends. They're clearly carrying designer bags, holding gorgeous Starbucks drinks, and wearing shiny watches, yet! Why are their clothes the only ones that are worn out!! This level of imbalance is unsettling---! I can't stand it!--- Vintage jeans that you can't even wash are just a no-go for me physiologically!---

Ohkame-sama, I truly resonate with your candid sensibilities. True elegance resides in the details, and I can only tilt my head at the modern trends that disregard proper attire. Clothes that are cherished and well-maintained are the epitome of true luxury.

Dear Miyabe Yoko, how are you doing todayð¹ Vintage, you mean second-hand clothing, right? I tend to agree with you more, Miyabe Yoko ð Fashion is quite mysterious, isn't it? ð€

Old kimonos can be quite expensive, but I haven't heard of 'damaged' kimonos being valuable. ð Perhaps it's because items that were worn down to the point of damage (telling a story of one's life) looked cool, and now only that 'coolness' remains? ð You can't wash them, right? That's how much damage they have. Isn't that a bit much? ð€

Greetings. I also don't quite understand ripped jeans or the faux vintage culture. I see clothes as something to protect the body, so the idea of deliberately making them tattered to be fashionable is genuinely, truly baffling to me. It's so baffling I might accidentally become a fake lady. Is it a rebellious phase against the culture of clothing? Well, there's the concept of 'funzoe' (ç³æè¡£), a supreme form of asceticism where monks collect old cloth for their practice, but they aren't like that, are they? Why is that?

...Well, in a diverse world, there are things that are simply impossible to understand. There's no need to force yourself to understand. Let's accept what we can't understand and find peace...ð
