從上世紀90年代到2005年左右，身穿一套印有品牌標志的名牌服裝曾是財富和成功的象征。如今，人們卻要用刀將衣服的商標裁掉。
Online, bloggers are posting tutorials on how to remove the thread stitched into shirts and hats without leaving an unsightly outline or picking off the logo on sunglasses without leaving behind a blurry mess.

In 2024, a report by Goldman Sachs revealed that millennials prefer clothing without labels or logos. When a person can transform themselves into a "brand" with some well-lit Instagram photos and considered Tweeting, essentially advertising someone else's product on their chest or handbag can become less appealing.
高盛公司2024年的一份報告顯示，千禧一代更喜歡沒有標簽或商標的衣服。當人們可以通過清晰明亮的Ins照片和精心編寫的推文將自己打造成一個“品牌”時，就不會想在自己的胸前或包袋上為別人的產品打廣告。

Max Ilich, a 47-year-old consultant from Hampton, New Hampshire in the US, is among the fashion-conscious who are de-logoing their clothing.
