"Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal - at the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses."
Stephen Bayley "Fashion: Being and Dressing", 1991
