I'd like to go back and explore something Alex mentioned in that fashion can be deceptive - i.e. what it attempts to represent about a person may not be true.

I think this is one of the fascinating powers of fashion - it is in fact a place that is almost acceptable to lie - fashion lets you wear cloths that enhance your best features and hide your worst. Fashion can make you seem taller, thinner, wealthier, edgier, or more sophisticated than you really are - sort of cart blanch role playing. Heck manny of you in other posts talked about judgements made about other people based more on how they were dressed rather than race.

There is power in image - and I just love how that all works. Look at this site and the people who turn away believing they aren't "swank" enough - that is both crazy and compelling.

At what point do people become the roles they play? Can the cloths we wear actually make us sexier, more sophiticated, cooler? At least in some cases it appears it can.

Art is Magic.
