The Cadre - 2 February 1999

From the

Bookshelf FASHION

1. Aself-destructing paradox. In order to be fashion-. able you must avoid everything in fashion.

2. Arelatively harmless use of the herd instinct.

3. Always right. Female models have continued into the 1990s swallowing cotton balls soaked in olive oil to reduce their hunger, although in the late eighties their lives were complicated by the return of breasts to fashion. Many of the girls felt obliged to have implant operations. The result has been a striking contrast between melon-like protrubances which stick out unnaturally from whippetlike ribcages.

Ever sensitive to the larger meaning of conflict- ing social trends, designers have, in effect invented . motherly anorexia. Camera images are kinder to geometry than they are to the natural line and so this fashion has been a great success (see: TASTE.)

4. As demonstrated by the young boy who called out in the street when the emperor passed, FREE SPEECH is anathema to fashion of any kind.
