04 Oct The Hidden Truth Behind Fashion’s Allure
In this episode, we explore “Fashion Myths” by Roman Meinhold, a thought-provoking examination of how multinational corporations transcend traditional products to sell powerful narratives and intangible ideals. Unpacking the role of ‘meta-goods’—like prestige, beauty, and strength—Meinhold reveals how these elements drive marketing success and resonate deeply with human desires for social recognition and rejuvenation. While many consumers recognize these messages, their philosophical underpinnings often remain hidden, even to marketers. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intricate relationship between fashion, culture, and identity, and how deeply embedded values shape our choices in the world of style.
