Lawrence Auster on fashion

Lawrence Auster on fashion:

Of course the 1930s were the greatest fashion period of modern times, for both men and women, maybe of all history.

But there's something in human affairs that it can't stop at something good. Starting around 1940, as you can see in the movies, the look started to change, especially with women's hair and dress, and became relatively dreary. Not that I dislike the long-haired women's look of the early '40s; I like it. But it doesn't compare to the '30s. That's the height.

I think the Philosopher and Pete Takeshi might agree. Jeffrey Tucker as well?
