Lots of people care who someone is wearing. Maybe they’re similarly shaped and think it will look nice on them. Maybe they’re idly curious about the designer that made such a nice piece of clothing. Maybe they’re in the business and want to look at developing trends. Maybe they have an event of their own and want to know who the “it” designer is so they can wear that designer’s clothes as well. As you can see, there are many reasons why a third party, beyond those asking and answering the question (I suppose the designer himself cares as well, because that’s why he did it, for the free advertising) might care. They’re not really all that pretentious reasons, either. The question is, since you’re so obviously against the practice, why are you putting yourself in the position where you’d be exposed to it? ---
