population is attuned to local custom and ancestor worshiP.
Simmel analyzed this apparent paradox in fashion between individualization
and social conformity, or, as he said, socialization. Fashion satisfies man's
desire for novelty, for differentiation, for individuality, and still, at the same
time, it makes for social adaptation and uniformity of action:

Two social tendencies are essential to the establishment of fashion,

namely, the need of union on the one hand and the need of isolation on the
other. Should one of these be absent, fashion will not be formed- its sway
will abruptly end.

From the fact that fashion as such can never be generally in vogue, the
individual derives the satisfaction of knowing that as adopted by him it still
represents something special and striking, while at the same time he feels
inwardly supported by a set of persons who are striving for the same thing,
not as in the case of other social satisfactions, by a set actually doing the
same thing.

Thus fashion furnishes for the personality a nice balance between the
desire for conformity, security, and sense of social solidarity, and the desire
for distinction, for individuality, for differentiation from others. The whole
sway of fashion is related really to the disturbance of this ever-shifting
balance of individualism and socialization.

Psychologically fashion rests on our desire for change, for divergence, for being
set apart from others. We grow bored with styles long in use. Certain seasonal
changes in clothes and decoration illustrate this. In the spring of the year we secure
new clothes, redecorate our houses, and purchase a new car. We are on the
lookout for new fads. How much of this desire for change is a purely psychological
reaction to ennui and how much of it is an outgrowth of the very culture pattern of
fashion, it is difficult to say. Certainlyin some [ocieties the old and traditional is so

The things which change-phrases, songs, understood only in

attitudes, and opinions. We have today actually constructed

the fashions of quickly they may be
with our particular group no matter how
altered. Whatever may be in early strictly personal-social experience of
exhibitionism becomes more firmly fixed in us by the additional conditioning
which we get as we grow up and discover that there is actually a convention
of fashion. And to be in the fashion is to be noticed by others. In other
words, early personal-social conditioning becomes integrated to cultural
conditioning.
From all this we see that fashion furnishes an ideal field for individuals of
dependent natures, whose self-consciousness, however, requires a certain amount
ofprominence, attention, and singularity. Fashion raises even the unimportant
individual by making him the representative of a
class, the embodiment of a joint
spirit.

Women attempt to prove their equality withby adopting the manners,

men
dress, and habits of men. We can hardly doubt that our desire to expand our ego,
to identify ourself with activities which give social distinction, is â powerful factor in
promoting fashion and changes in fashion.

desire to please women or to
convey an impression of leisure-class power. In fashion we modify our
rationalizations very readily. If it is sexual attraction, one
style is as good as
another. Whatever is moving toward universal
acceptance at the moment is correct.
When it is universal, however, it no longer is in the
height of fashion. Once fashions
reach a saturation point, they decay. This shift in modern
fashion is almost its
outstanding characteristic. It seems an intimate part of our touch-and-go
civilization, where nothing appears to be permapent.

modify fashion. designers and manufacturers deliberately

The makers of
fashion-goods have developed an elaborate technique to create
public interest and demand for their wares. They strive desperately to go with the
Currents of public fads. Manufacturers and distributors have attempted to
inaugurate fashion crazes, but they are rarely successful. Extremes in fashion
appear to be a phase of our rapidly changing life, of our superficial social contacts.

Asinstability of fashion is one of its dominant characteristics, the designer

manufacturer, and merchant are all confronted with serious economic risks because
fashions are so capricious and unpredictable.. Styles of dress and decoration
change over night. Recent styles become obsolete with the announcement of newer
ones. Almost every concerted effort to oppose or create definite changes in fashion
has been quite futile.

In our own Christian culture the dominant churches have made numerous
attempts to control the direction of fashion, especially fashion in things considered
sacred or taboo. The Puritans, Quakers, and some other sects have tried to
stipulate dress and to prevent the exposure of the woman's body or the use of any
personal adornment. The Catholic church in Poland is recently reported to have
forbidden young Polish women from participating in international beauty contests
on the grounds of indecency.

In fashion, as in prejudice, in crowd behavior, in public opinion, and in all of the

social attitudes and activities, men and women are illogical and impulsive rather
than rational. There are, of course, some utilitarian tendencies in some features of
dress and personal decorations. As upper- and middle-class men have more and
more pursued lives of activity rather than of leisure, there have not been the
frequent fundamental changes in costume that we see in earlier historical periods.
With the whole modern tendency to rapid
change, fashion is overstepping more and
more the bounds of its original domain of
personal externals and is acquiring, as
Simmel remarks, "an increasing influence taste, over theoretical convictions
over
and even over the moral foundations of life. As the rationale of the capitalistic
"
 social-economic order comes to affect the life organization of men and women.
certain things formerly in fashion may become more stable parts of the more
permanent folkways, and other things may increasingly become aspects of fashion.
But it seems unlikely, that fashions and fads will disappear, unless the Universal
Robots of Capek come into being with some future standardization of life. Such a
profound change would imply equally profound modifications in the biological
character of human beings as well as in the present direction of civilization.
Alterations of this sort seem remote and fanciful indeed.

AUTUMNSEASOON
t cools down quickly in our neck of the woods, but that might not be the case for you. Ifit's still
hot at this time of year, it's completely stylish to continue wearing Summer clothes into Autumn.)
But if you are starting to get bored with your Summer outfits, here are some ways to look more
seasonally *Autumn", even in wanm weather

Wear darker colours: Keep the fabrication Summer weight with cotton and silk blends,
but wear more black, grey, brown, ink blue, earth tones and muted colours instead of
white and acidic brights.) But please don't think that you can't wear bright colours in
Autumn, or black in Summer. Of course you can and I do it all the time. I'm merely
suggesting a change from what might be routine in your style.
(Change your accessories: Swap out tropical looking jewelry like shells and brightly
coloured stones for more somber and dramatic looks. Tweed floral pins and brushed
metals will do the trick.
Add a cotton scarf in Autumn colours: Pair scarf in muted tones
a to a sleeveless outfit.
Change your handbag: Switch to black, brown, taupe or grey if you've been sporting a
colour for Summer.
Change the shade of your toenail polish: Opt for rich, dark hues
instead of bubblegum
brights. It's a nice salute to the new season if you're still in sandals
Wear pumps, loafers or ballet flats: Still too hot for
boots, but cool

foot coverage. Tweed, animal print and rich suede screams Autumn.
Keep jackets and knitwear lightweight: Waist coats, biker waistcoats and short
sleeved or sleeveless jackets and cardigans are effective
ways to layer in the heat.)
Add boots of any length to short
shorts, or super short miniskirts: This is daring and
you'll need youth on your side to pull it off, but it's fabulous
