CPW,  or cost per wear, is so important in these "fast fashion" days...
Quality, over mass production.
A friend recently said, Why is it that a person will spend a fortune on a special occasion piece
that will be worn once, and not invest in something that can be worn daily, and for years.
As a teacher in the Fashion Studies department at Columbia College Chicago,  I want this message to reach my students, and the new guard.
Let's invest in quality, over quantity.
