No

Yo, hold up - you think the fashion industry is exploiting young artists? Man, that's backwards thinking right there. The fashion industry is the BIGGEST platform these young creatives have ever had in history! Look, I've been in this game - fashion gave me my voice when music wasn't enough. These young artists are getting opportunities their parents could only dream of. Virgil got to Louis Vuitton, Jerry Lorenzo built Fear of God, Matthew Williams runs Givenchy now. The industry didn't exploit them - it ELEVATED them. You wanna talk about exploitation? Try being a young artist with no platform, no resources, no connections. Fashion houses are literally throwing millions at fresh talent, giving them creative director positions at 25, 30 years old. That's not exploitation - that's acceleration. The real exploitation is gatekeepers telling young artists they need to "pay their dues" for decades. Fashion said forget that - if you got vision, we'll give you the keys to the kingdom. Supreme started in a skateshop, now it's worth billions. That's not exploitation, that's revolution. These young artists are getting paid, getting famous, and getting their ideas out to millions of people. The fashion industry gave them what the art world never could - SCALE and INFLUENCE.
