The image economy fuels the constant production and consumption of visual content, often stripping images of their original meaning and reducing them to commodified spectacle. Fashion is now deeply enmeshed in this system, where design, production, and experience are inseparable from digital representation.
Designers no longer control the circulation of their workâit lives within an open, participatory network shaped by audience engagement. This hyper-mediated landscape promotes a relentless craving for the new and the visually striking, where attention is currency and innovation is measured by immediate aesthetic impact.
