sorry, yes to clarify, within people that know it's well understood. i don't think most people care. the brand name is the brand name, and from that perspective, the strategy works

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_line there's an incomplete list of diffusion lines. it's common for larger brands. mid size --> smaller brands generally don't have diffusion lines because they don't really need to. functionally they have to have diffusion lines if they want part of their brand to be accessible to the masses. designer brands can't make it on just selling high end luxury alone, so they have diffusion lines that are made of less premium material, and maybe the design process is simplified so there's less r&d spend. functionally the end product is something that is more mass market and a significantly cheaper price point. it's the same reason brands do fragrance and make up as well. this doesn't necessarily make this a bad thing, there are diffusion lines that just explore different ideas away from the mainline brand. there's plenty of diffusion lines that do notably interesting stuff that's worth exploring. i would say this practice is fairly well understood.

because it is extremely common to have a diffusion line but that's different from something being fake.

Cost of quality
strictly in terms of utility and function, no a $1000 shirt does not feel 10 time as soon as a $100 shirt, there's a point of diminishing returns. when you are paying $1000 for a shirt, you're not paying $1000 for that in terms of quality of material. the consideration above strict raw material (ideally) is design. the pattern making and design you're looking for simply does not exist at a lower price point because it's too onerous to produce at large quantities. i own some $100 shirts and i own some $1000 shirts, you can 100% tell which ones are $1000 shirts.

Help Me
it can be important to recognise that this isn't a race when you're feeling overwhelmed. there's no time allocation where you need to have achieved something by a date. style and fashion something that's lifelong. your best decisions are going to come with time and thought, not from action because of a feeling of being overwhelmed. take a step back to understand what you truly like and why it inspires you. it'll help you identify what it is you actually want.

Issey Miyake Pleated Pants?
i own a fair of pleats, and they're fine, but i think it has to match what you have going on. it's not something that necessarily just slots into a wardrobe.
