Designer jeans for the insecure
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Designer
jeans are worn by insecure peo
ple who in effect are saying,
“I’m somebody, and if you don’t
believe me, just look at my
label,” a Southern California
psychologist says.
University of Southern Cali
fornia Professor Chaytor Mason
said seeking status and an iden
tity by buying expensive desig
ner items indicates the seeker is
short on self image.
“People who wear high-
priced jeans or anything else for
the primary purpose of display
ing the label are people with a
pitifully weak self image,”
Mason said. “In effect, they’re
saying to others: ‘You may not
like me, but you’ll like what I’ve
bought.’”
It’s no accident, the psycho
logist says, that designer jeans
sell well among well-heeled
young people.
“Naturally, the greatest mar
ket for these ego substitutes is
among young people who are
long on papa’s allowance and
short on their own achieve
ment,” he said.
“You’ll also find a large per
centage of people flashing de
signer labels in the entertain
ment industry, where almost
everyone seems to be afflicted
with self doubt.”
Mason said the designer jean
fad is a fascinating example of an
image turned inside out.
“During the 1960s, youths
adopted jeans as a symbol of re
bellion against the suit-and-tie
establishment,” he said. “The
rebels wore jeans as a way of
proclaiming their independ
ence from the establishment’s
gray flannel rat race.
“The fact that jeans became
a symbol of status ... is testi
mony to the power of society’s
forces of conformity.”
