Designer labels have come to

form an important part of our

identification of style and

fashion. Designer branding is

sometimes associated with a

higher quality of manufacture

and a more expensive price.

The ownership and display of

such products of quality is

frequently marketed to

suggest that the wearer will

personal characteristic of
