Eternal Fashion

 
Posted by Picasa


This blue military jacket is the hottest fashion item in Egypt. The photo, I must admit, does not do it complete justice. That jacket, though it is standard issue, does not bore. I've wondered how an item can be repeated endlessly, retain a standard and still reveal individuality. When an article of clothing is always in fashion, does it not cease to be fashion? Or does it belong to a category known as eternal fashion? Chinos, by they way, also fall into this category.

The pyramid shown is the smallest of the Giza Three, that of Menkaure. Pyramids also have lines that do bore, but continue to fascinate. If you are familiar with any of the statues of Menkaure, you know that he too belongs to eternal fashion.

Shoosh a dit…

Military jackets in Egypt are not blue, and the man in the photo is a Policeman and he's wearing black.
