2: Aspirationals Unite
We are what we buy and what we are seen to buy. Kevin Jackson continues his examination of the power of branding by looking at how it affects our individuality. The clothing industry knows what it takes to make us feel good, which turns many of us into walking advertisements for Calvin Klein ,
Ralph Lauren , Tommy Hilfiger and a score of others. But the world at large is resisting becoming a giant advertising hoarding. Kevin Jackson finds places where even brown fizzy drinks go flat.
