Wearable epistemology. Reality: what a concept!
Yes, but if you *really* think about slogan, perhaps it’s not so nice: I wear (cool clothes), therefore, I am? You are what you wear? As a joke, it’s cute. As a life’s philosophy, not so much.
On the other hand, the fact that it’s a resale shop already takes a bit of the snobbishness out of it. A resale shop is, by nature, at least somewhat in touch with the realities of life. Still, who came up with the name? A philosophy major turned entrepreneur? And as for “you are what you wear” and “you are what you own” and “you are where you live” and “you are who your people are”–I just figure Popeye got it right.
Had to jog my memory to get the rundown on Plato
but I admire the entrepreneur who relates to the college community. Keep musing
I just sorta figure it’s kind of like titling a movie “Napoleon Dynamite.” But I will cast a vote with the Roving Librarian – and Popeye!
