designer gear

Success is a label
A monogram
A brand
A fools gold of flam 

To wear is the new rating nirvana
To strut  while paying homage to a designer
The pinnacle of success is the price tag
The sapper and dandy
The new unchanging diorama 
A shop window in the street
Paris and london runways within visual reach
Where the new is rehashed 
And the glory we behold is paid for with cash 

Flashy or brassy
Or even chavvy
Bespoke is disdained
The fake louis is  de rigueur
The symbols of infamy
The trappings of larceny
Who doesnt want a high end copy?
To cover themselves in 
Wanton commerciality

The mirror is king 
Instagram a neccessary stage
Freedom of choice is illusionary
The brand is all that matters
No one should champion individuality
Looking good even occassionally 
Head to toe in pricey conformity
