Yes, I think it could be a strong piece but the question remains how will you document this? Video? Suggestion, maybe you could do up-front video wearing a really great (presumably expensive outfit) and another video - also up-front - in a clearly less expensive chic outfit? But then I wonder if you will be allowed to videotape at all if you try to do so honestly and with the store's knowledge? Is there something interesting in the video aspect as well - in other words I wonder if a store's willingness, unwillingness to be taped reveal another aspect of a kind of classism? Or is video (willingness or unwillingness) a completely different issue?
