There may have been ancient individuals who weren't slave to fashion, but there were lots that were. Including Lakota. The Lakota traded very heavily with both the American Government and individuals throughout the 1800's. That including things like beads, which are only useful as decoration.
Show me a culture devoid of decoration and I'll accept your argument.
