Orientation and Alignment














Gentle Reader -

How do you know when it is time for a change?
I am referring to the internal compass which, from time to time, indicates that some shift in direction must be made. It could be as simple as changing one's fragrance or shade of lipstick.

But there are other moments, much rarer in occasion, when a complete upturning, a revolution, is in order. In these cases, it's not just a matter of an internal compass, but a true shift of fashion's poles of attraction.

Examples from Western Civilization's Past:

The shift from robes to pants
The abolition of the corset
Pants as part of female attire
The abolition of ornamental male daywear

I am predicting that by the 2030's we should really see the transition to the future of fashion. This is really sooner than you think.
