While I applaud the Indy for trying to include fashion features, I'm often left disappointed. The articles lack actual fashion content, and though some commentators commend this fact disparaging the superficial nature of fashion, I find this to be a sad shape of things for fashion as an art form. The fashion articles in the Indy tend to a commercial slant, with run of the mill Ben Sherman polo shirts paired against social critiques. I just don't get the praise. Stylistically its flat, and to fashion's detriment, it glosses over the artistic elements inherent in design.
