'It’s clear the stuff is second-rate: the plastic bags will rip roo easily, the light bulbs will glow a nauseating blue and burn out in a week. And yet everything here is making an attempt, putting on its best face for the marketplace.'
- Steven Stern.

The replication of trend is what interests me. How an object attempts to replicate a certain style but in doing so actually creates it’s own. A strange thing, which talks to how cultural trends function within contemporary life.
