About fashion

The spell cast by fashion has remained undiminished, from the excesses of Marie Antoinette two centuries ago, to the lady who recently admitted to owning over two hundred pairs of shoes with matching handbags, and wardrobes crammed with suits and dresses, many of which had never been worn, nor were likely to be since she bought, on average, one complete outfit every week! Fashion is one of the more rewarding expressions of a vigorous consumer society, that is, a society that demands and find stimulus in variety and constant change.Fashion in clothes, as in autos, electronics, household appliances, and other goods, reflects economic growth and social progress.
