“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis.

At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.” EndsShowsFashionNewsMassVersionsIsolationDisplayPrimitiveGatheringFestivalsRenewalHypePaganParadesPriesthoodInsistenceOmenFashion ShowSpoiltCatwalkExhibitionismApotheosis Author:Stephen Bayley
