Xa sithetha "amalaphu okhuseleko fashion, "Sibhekisa kwizinto ezilukiweyo ezinganikezeli kuphela ukhuseleko, kodwa zinenkangeleko esefashonini. Ngenxa yefashoni kunye nemigangatho yokhuseleko ephezulu, la malaphu ahlala eyilwa kusetyenziswa ubugcisa obuphambili kunye nemathiriyeli. Umzekelo, kukho ngoku iinketho ezikhoyoilaphu elibonakalisa kakhulueziphucula ukubonakala kwiimeko zokukhanya okuphantsi ngelixa zisagcina inkangeleko elungelelanisiweyo kunye neyangoku. Ukongeza, kukho amalaphu enzelwe ukuzikhusela kwimiphumo eyingozi yemitha ye-UV ngelixa egcina iimpawu zawo ezikhaphukhaphu, eziphefumlayo kunye nezitofotofo. Kukwakho nezixhobo ezikhoyo ezikwaziyo ukungenwa ngamanzi, ukuxhathisa ukurhawuzelelwa, kunye nokubulala iintsholongwane. Oku kwenza ukuba ezi zixhobo zisetyenziswe kwiisethingi ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanya izixhobo zokuzikhusela, iimpahla zangaphandle, kunye nempahla yezemidlalo. Ushishino lwamalaphu lenze inkqubela ebonakalayo kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ngakumbi kwiinkalo zefashoni kunye namalaphu okhuseleko. Inika abathengi uluhlu olubanzi lweenketho ngokwendlela yefashoni kunye nokhuseleko, ukwenza iimveliso eziluncedo kwaye zithandeka ngaxeshanye.
