Karen.
I am very sad for you that you live in such a colourless and insular world.
The massive industry you call "Self indulgent", provides secure employment for thousands of people and their families in just the UK alone. The fact you do not see the point to something and consequently deride it as useless and a "Waste of time" speaks volumes about how closed your mind is to the many creative ways people can improve the world they live in. You use the specious argument, that rather than making these items of clothing, you suggest cannot be worn, people should be better occupied making clothing for the underprivileged.
You only need to do a basic google search to find out just how much the industry already massively supports causes and charities across the globe.
I should like to ask how you imagine you improve the world you live in when you make thoughtless unsubstantiated statements, that only serve to belittle and degrade a world you clearly know very little of. Is that productive?
More to the point you insult a man who had friends and family just like any of us, who cared for him dearly.
Think carefully before you reply.
