telling phrase: Vanity

Hey all,
At the mall, they have advertisements for a new store coming in, Vanity. Yet, to describe their style, they talk about how people are "style starved." It is interesting to relate clothing to hunger. It's an anology we all understand, so it's easily understood. But, starving for food and starving for clothes are two different things. While both are essential, obviously in this case the desire for stylish clothes is not a necessity, it's a want. However because of the ad, the viewer feels a sense of, "I need that."
