Thats a good question I view fashion as being in it's essence a form of communication - which requires a sender and reciever, so traditionally an other, but there are whole schools of intrapersonal communication, so communicating with yourself is not out of the question.
I also tend to lean towards the absolute that views all "aesthetic" decission to be fashion - so selecting a paint color in a sense is making a fashion decission.
But I slaso think politics and economics enter into most decissions as well - they all tend to limit the overall pool we select from. I mihgt prefer the aesthetics of the Jag, but the Honda suits my economics better, but I'll get the green one - that being my aesthetic and thus fashion choice.
