Kings and Pretenders

In a 1913 issue of The Clothier and Furnisher, "Beaunash" weighs in again with his usual sagacity. This time, he discusses the diversity of perspectives in visual interpretations of the word "Fashion." Aesthetics dictate style, and proportion, presence, and point-of-view all inform Aesthetics. As "Beaunash" puts it: 

"In simple reason, every fashion cannot be becoming to everybody, and as long as men are short and tall, stout and thin, round-faced and oval-faced, full-cheeked and lean-cheeked, thick-haired and bald, mustached and clean-shaven, they will keep on doing with fashion just about what they please."
