Ying/Yang

I did think about that quite a bit the other week. And I think ying/yang doesn't work. The introduction of a third number does. For instance with notes or colours two can oppose each other but a third may compliment both...in this instance you have the idea of relative tensions and partnerships I know in Taoism the ying/yang further splits into subsections.. like a colour wheel may..amd then what we are really left with are the harmonic relationships of wavelengths for the most part.

Or should I say ratios..

Banana Republic did a Mad Men tie-in a couple of years ago.  The clothes were terrible.

That's the general assumption - but if sufficient people think differently maybe society will reevaluate. The concept of rejecting contemporary fashion to replicate previous eras is afaik a recent phenomenon that appeared for the very first time in the 1970s, and has continued in various forms to date. As such the concept is too new and is far too confined to a tiny number of people to have made any impact on general consciousness. The concept is probably still unknown in most parts of the world, and it will probably always be confined to a tiny number of people, or it may even disappear, but you never know. As I said earlier - I would like to see a shirt that beats the Brooks of the past.
