This is fashion
Fashion has such a weight and it is so antique that Seneca, a roman philosopher of the 1st century AD, once said “We live not according to reason but according to fashion”. What he means is that fashion shapes society not reason, and this is very much true. There isn’t any reason when fashion is involved because if there were then fashion would be dictated by reason and then it would become fashion less. Fashion predates reason. It comes from within and it rises and it shapes the world like some uncontrollable force. Fashion comes from the unconscious. It has to do with beauty and not with reason. If fashion was dictated by reason then it would all look the same. If fashion was dictated by reason then no one would pay the high sums asked for a dress, for a pair of trousers, for a handbag. If fashion was dictated by reason then Miu Miu bags would bore and unoriginal, no one would buy them, no one would replicate them. A replica MIU would not exist because original Miu Miu bags wouldn’t inspire someone to replicate them and anyone to buy them. Fashion comes from the sheer force of creation, from the deepest realms of imagination. Fashion inspires, fashion makes people spend thousands of dollars on a handbag, something that for a reasonable mind sounds like insanity. Fashion inspires others who try to copy it. Like a Miu Miu handbag is created and then comes a replica MIU which is sold at lower prices in markets, in stores, in the internet. This is the cycle of fashion, it will never die and we live happy in it. This is fashion.
