IELTS Speaking Test Part 3 Discussion Question - Designer Clothes

Who do you think purchases designer clothes usually?

I guess it would be people who like to have something different and unique to wear. The most common example would be celebrities like movie stars and other famous personalities who appear in public and have a large followings of fans.

But then you need to consider that in many cases when you see a famous movie star, for example, on the red carpet at an awards ceremony – the dress they are wearing often hasn’t been bought – the designer gives it to the celebrity in order to promote their own brand.

As for buying designer clothes, it’s probably popular with people who have enough disposable income to splurge on such things and want to look different from other people who buy off-the-peg clothes from chain stores.

It’s another way of differentiating yourself from others – and some people like doing that.
