CLOTHING FASHION IN HISTORY 

Early Westurn travelers,whether to PERSIA ,TURKEY,INDIA or CHINA would frequently remark on the absence of change in fashion there,and observers
from these other culture .
Fasion is a form of imitation and so of social equalization , but,it differentiates one time from another and one social stratum from other.

It unites those of a social class and segregates them from others . The elite initiates a fashion and, when the mass imitates it in an with the increase of wealth.Fashion dose not harm. It signalizes the lack of personal freedom;hene it characterizes the female and the middle class. whose increased social freedom ; hence it dividual subjugation, Some forms are intrinsically more suited to the modification of fashion than others:

the internal unity of the form called "classic" makes them immuune to change.

 

The general formula in accordance with which we usaully
interpret the differing aspects of the individual as
well as of the public mind may be stated broadly as follows:
We recognize two antagonistic forces,tendencies ,or characteristics,either of which ,if left unaffected,would approach infinity;
We are constantly seeking ultimate forces,fundamental aspirations,some one of which controls our entire conduct.But in no case do we find any single force attaining a perfectly independent expressions,and we are thus obliges to seperate a majority of the factors and determine the relative extent to which each shall have representation.To do this we  must establish the agree of limitation exercised by  the counteraction of some other force,as well as the influence exerted by the latter upon the primitive force.

 

The tendency towards imitation characterizes a stage of development in which the desire for expedient personal activity is present , but  from which the capacity for possessing the individual acquirnments is absent.It is interesting to note the excetness with which children insist upon the repetition of facts , how they constantly clamor for a repetition  of the same games and pastimes,how they will object to the sligtest variation in the telling of a story they have heard twenty times,In this information and in exact adaptation to the past the child first rises above its mementary existence;the immediate content of life reaches into the past ,it expand the present child,likewise for primitive man;and the pedantic exactness not be regarded off hand as a token of poverty or narrowness.At this stage every deviation from imitation of given facts breaks the connection which alone can now unite the present with something that tends to expand existence as a mere creature of the moment.
