It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
Fashions, after all, are only induced epidemics.
Fashion may renew itself every six months, but one thing remains the same: bouncers always wear black.[Apesar de a moda renovar-se a cada seis meses, uma coisa continua exatamente igual: os seguranças na porta estão sempre com ternos negros.]
Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.
Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
