People like clthes and fashion because they were basically told hey look this is cool (and gives us money) therefore; LIKE IT! Really, its quite idiotic because really... we don't need all these different styles, but it makes more money. Especially now since everything is getting more and more expensive, people are trying to get more and more money. So someone was like "oh hey I know! lets take a really cheap product like...cotton....cut it into a bunch of different pieces...throw a few wacky colors on there....put it on a celeb and BAM! money" I do wonder what started the orignal idea that clothes could manipulate minds so easily. Because, even though back in the days of neanderthals they didn't care aout clothing as long as they wore clothing....but then it formed into jewlery like rocks and such....and eventually here we are. I'm positive you know this all already but it makes me think about it more as wondering if its actual reaction or just something that just progressed and got more important over time.
