Consumerism and the shopping addict is usually all about constantly buying cheap fashion. Women are the main culprits of constant consumer spending and debt and a brand new oak looks at this primarily female fetch of clothes hoarding and how they manage this ability in the globalized fashion industry. 
Author Elizabeth Cline examines this phenomena in her book "Over Dressed" and women's nauseous, bizarre fashion over consumption is a topic we dress up often. By constantly offering new trends at cheap prices retailers are constantly providing enormous volume of clothing. We are paying less for clothing as ever as before yet buying more and more than what we actually need. The environmental and social implications of this new fashion trend of the past few decades is the topic of this book. Women's expensive tastes and desires to express their financial self wealth in clothing is a recent development and a cause of the explosive growth of the fashion industry. 
I highly doubt that women in the West though would love clothing and see it as an art form had they been the fortunate ones born into poverty and pretty much forced to make these garments for low wages like many women in the third world face. The working conditions faced by these workers at such places as forever 21 are appalling and deserving of continual protest and shutdowns at all the malls. The brainless gender of women in Western societies though care more for their access to constant changing fashion than the demand to change and improve life of their fellow gender mates stuck behind the sewing machine. The additional demands of fossil fuels,energy, and water to expand the wardrobes of picky women and their constantly changing tastes is another disconnect to reality the clothing obsessed can never fix.
Elizabeth notes that most clothing is not being recycled as many perceive it to be. Eventually the rising economic conditions in China though will make clothing more expensive and bring about an end to these cheap clothing global brands that will find costs impossible to contain and continue the media expense. these expenses are necessary for the brands to enforce a habit mentality onto many of the worlds youth when it comes to expecting a constant changing wardrobe at a low prices. The youth of one particular gender needs to wake up to the fact that their constant spending sprees and debt flr clothing do not help the world nor workers on the other side of the globe. The consequences of cheap fashion is a more polluted planet and it will not matter what you wear when the tipping point is accomplished through insane over manufacturing and consumption.
