Wearing the brand on your clothes is a symbol of oppression.
In the 1952 book "the space merchants" the world is ruled by advertising agencies. Your status in society is determined by how actively you promote products. The central image in the story of how oppressed everyone has become is that the brand name of the company making the clothing is displayed on the outside of the clothing so everyone can see it. So in 1952, describing today's fashion reality was considered a horror story. And influencers would have been considered brutal oppressors
