From World Dress: by Frances Kennett
View of beauty seems so different in so many different cultures, but all seem to have a common feature of adornment and disfiguration, whether it be to put massive stone and sticks in your features to streach them out of proportion or to wear a neck brace to make your neck longer. It all seems that we have a common goal for the strange the unusual to aspire to the god like image.
I also found that in almost every other country colour seems to be beauty, but not in ours, ours seems to be to conform... or maybe I've just been brought up and cant see past my own culture, as although other cultures have more colourful dress than ours women are more restricted to what they wear.
