Look at the model of Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic. Their business model is designed for their customer to grow up into each brand. So you shop at old navy because it's cheap, then you move on to gap because your a little older and have more money, then you enter the working world and shop at banana. With most urban fashion line the customer falls out of the target demographic after a few years or the brand is only as strong as the artist who represents it. Don’t forget that customers grow up.

It's just like a Hollister/Abercrombie type thing, targeted towards a certain age group....*even though you see 50 year old ppl in that too...scary*...and not ALL of the clothes are ugly...some are, not ALL, so I don't think that it's fair to slam the entire industry for a few bad designs.
