fashion sets in motion a certain dynamic where suddenly the lower classes want to copy the upper class either to gain respectability within their own class or to try to climb the social ladder.
And at the same time, the higher classes start changing their fashion in order to maintain their distinction from the lower classes.So basically, the rich keep changing their fashion intentionally, precisely so that the poor won't be able to keep up.'Fashion, just Fashion' is echoed succintly in well rounded vowels
.So in a sense, the lower classes are sentenced to live their lives out of fashion, meaning that fashion produces a class asymmetry in the very experience of intersubjective temporality.
