• Fashion: From fig leaves to garments of skin — a journey into the birth of bodily and sartorial awareness
  What turned clothing from a means of concealment into a fateful accessory in human history?
  And the Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
• Fashion: How changing clothes changed the world
  Is fashion a threat to tradition or a gateway to a new era?
  yet we will rightly argue that this person harms the state, for inadvertently he causes the young to disdain the old and familiar.
• Fashion: When clothing becomes a message – the hidden symbolism of what we wear

  Clothes, from the King's mantle downwards, are emblematic, not of want only, but of a manifold cunning Victory over Want.
• Fashion: When the word becomes a garment and the garment becomes a sign
  What if the clothes you are wearing don't exist at all?
  The word 'wool' does not itch; the word 'silk' does not rustle.

  Why can fashion never stop changing?
  However, the moment the masses adopt the fashion and succeed in imitating it, the upper classes immediately abandon it in favor of a new fashion.
