The Ugliness of Fashion

Quotes from Fashion and Eroticism:

I really liked the morbid quality of these quotes and how the idea of fashion and beauty seems to like a sick joke "postmodern fashion has gone further, taunting death with its nihilistic visions, flaunting its loss of moral restraint, its contempt for hypocritical bourgeois ideals and forcing a confrontation with inner fears." its almost as if hell is rising up and taking over because of our lack of morals and corrupt society.

"a hallucination of a world without ageing, death and decay no longer simply a part of organic life, are thrown up at the women as a special punishment of fate" it seems too close to the story of adam and eve , where they lived in a perfect world and didnt appreciate it so were cast out to age and wallow in there own destruction.

"further and further removed from the real body that is rejected for its banality, its lumpen and inevitable decay" - reating how nothing natural seems to be good enough anymore as were all aspiring to the unachievable to the immortal!

"An extreme fascination with the erotic potential of the controlled figure has become combined with an erotic vision that speaks of threat and domination." "they tempt the onlooker who usually has no means of possesing such riches, with their promise to power and cruelty." I love these 2 quotes relating fashion as a means of control, dominance and power, the ulimate temptation of sin!!!
