/fa/ - Fashion

I must express an unfortunate inevitability; which is the event unfolding as I am typing. I cannot spare you from what is my morbid indignation and excessive dissapprobation resulting from today's complete and utter lack of any form of principled adherence to historically developed and intellectually respected notions of taste. In matters of clothing it is evidently the Victorian age which developed, almost to a degree of science it is to be held, clothing beyond the pinnacle of what is aesthetically possible: a marriage of excess and restraint. The aesthetes of the yellow 90's revolted in the most subtle methods possible. I will use an example which I know that even the uneducated among you (effectively all of you) will be aware of. Wilde, sublime Wilde. His hair is both elegant and wild (If you'll pardon the pun), the coat exceeds the dour custom without reaching Baroque heights and the cane allows him to demonstrate the subtleties contained within his hands. Please develop some taste and remove yourself from this adherence to custom, fashion is not a game for the sexually frustrated base peacock.
