Well it's cheap, I'll give you that

From the preppies to the tradlies to the hipsters - tides, sir.
Your beloved union made stuff may have left but the style in all its ugly incarnations never did.

I feel like writing an essay on that. My nuclear theory. We're dealing with the nucleus of something that big banged in the nuclear age.

There, I blew it.

Modernist fashion (not to be confused with modern in the sense of contemporary) was the last development of western fashion before the advent of postmodernism and it's random (as the kids say the these days) appropriation of the styles of the past and of other cultures. So in a way Modernist fashion, while five decades old, is still the most "current" AND "postmodern". I'm sure they thought in 1959 we'd be wearing synthetic jumpsuits on the moon by now. I don't worry about these things. I just want to look sharp.
