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.
.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.

there's a rumor that Aristotle really dressed well and was known for his signature style of cropped hair and rings.

disavowing interest in clothes out of an investment in being seen as serious.
the philosopher who is into fashion but wants to give off the impression of not being into fashion.Honestly, what comes to mind is the 1950s existentialist.Sitting at the cafe, smoking a cigarette or a cigar and wearing a black turtleneck.
And how does fashion reinscribe class distinctions and the desire for superiority?When I think about fashion, I definitely think about self-expression.I think about individuals placing a high premium on their individuality, their uniqueness to the point of wanting their outward appearance to somehow convey their.Inner reality.
