"Still beating?" See I got, "Warmed over entrails..." I guess I was a little off, eh? Oh well, the intent is what matters, right?
Fashion is more about following "the cool." It's more about copying than doing anything original. That being said, I think there is a bit of the mod mojo working in fashion.
Jeans for example. When I was growing up it was ripped and faded. You had to do it yourself, but everyone had to have them. Then after they caught on, you could buy them pre-ripped and pre-faded. Now your paying extra to have someone wear out and rip up your perfectly fine pants.
Same thing with women, remember when low-riding jeans weren't sold in every store on every shelf in every mall in America? Women used to cut off the waist of perfectly fine jeans to achieve the look. Now it seems they've become the standard of the female jean market. I can't possibly imagine how those things are comfortable, yet nearly every woman I see seems to be wearing them.
