Darkness and the sleeping imperfections.
I was in the passenger seat of a friend's car yesterday, and we went for a drive downtown to see what we could see. Two young men touring the streets on a perfect evening for clubbing. As I am sure you can imagine, our eyes were not always on the road.
The reason I mention this is not to enforce the perverted stereotype of
youth, but to focus on the intricacy of clothing design and fashion.
I am astounded by how fashion statements change from culture to culture. To look at a twenty-something, European male, you will see a nice dress shirt left unbuttoned, revealing a hairless chest and a designer chain. On the other side of the street I was noticing young men with long, black, straight-haired mullets, and highly teased coifs, and petite girls with even more petite candy-striped dresses in the lineup of asian youth waiting to get into another club.
Imagine someone in our class, lets pick on Todd, coming to class with a long, black, straight-haired mullet. He would look more than ridiculous. Prime example of how different cultures can get away with different styles.
Although I mention just fashion, this of course pertains to furniture, architecture, advertising and electronics.
Style is such an amazing thing.

Business in the front, and party in the back. Keep it fresh.
