You said she'd have to be desperate

I don't really understand the desire to own fakes. What is it you're trying to accomplish with fashion that doesn't become completely invalidated by not having authentic apparel? Let's say you bought some fake Kanye shoes to get the social signalling effect of owning an expensive, wasteful, useless product. What happens when you get caught?

Not only does everyone realize you paid (still a pretty sizable amount of) money for fake shoes, but they also recognize you as the type of person so concerned with appearances that you'd buy a counterfeit social signalling device that you're actually too poor to afford.

Explain yourselves.
