My OperaFashion Victim

Fashion victim means those people who addicted to fashion and could not live without it. Well, I am one of them. Being a fashion victim has our own fun.
But today I want to talk about another kind of fashion victim, which doesn't mean in its traditional way.
Here in china, have you ever seen those people walk around with a Louis Vuitton or a Burberry bag? I bet you have seen a lot of these scenes. Please don't be surprise, don't regard we chinesse people are so rich that even we ordinary students could afford to buy a fancy Louis vuitton Papillion or Amazone bag.
Actually most of these bags are counterfeits, of course some rich people could afford the genuine ones and you can tell the differences if you know how to distinguish. But most of the people don't know they are fake or not, or even worse, some people treat the fake ones as genuine and they show off in front of people with the pirate edition.
The fact is that many people don't know what the bags they carried means. They don't know what Louis Vuitton or Prada or Burberry is, they just know they are carrying bags. It seems so weird because you see Prada bags everywhere on the street, and you know they are counterfeit. Also you can find those "expensive" bags selling in a surprisingly inexpensive price everywhere. One time I saw a "Prada" bag in the price of RMB 15 Yuan. Shocking, right?
People have their rights to choose what they like, certainly the pirate edition of those costly bag are also lovely as they copied the design of the genuine ones. But I think people should never buy those bags again, the reason is the same as the reason why we shouldn’t buy pirate CD.
While someone walk around with a counterfeit as a genuine one, what would the others think about he/she? They might regard the person as a very vain one, I think, at least I will. And people should know something about those famous brands, or know what are their representative designs in order not to buy something that is pirate under the situation they don’t know.
Try not to be a fashion victim another way.
