Tongue stuck firmly in cheek: It never changes. Some guy (Charles Worth, for example) decides we all need to wear hoop skirts (for example) and we all follow along. I bet it's been going on since Mankind first started wearing clothes. And I don't mean only women who follow fashion slavishly; men are right in there too. We finally figure it out, Terry figured it out once she got out of high school. It takes other people decades to realize that the most up to date fashion isn't always the one for them. I love people!
And what would we costumers do if no one followed fashion? How could we tell an 1875 bonnet from an 1885 one?
