Back in the 1990s when I was a teenager, “fashion” people were routinely chided for being shallow and superficial. The popular psychology was that fashion, or indeed, that caring about one's appearance at all, was phony, superficial, etc. "It's what's on the inside that counts." Nothing on the surface is important. The reigning genre of dress was either grunge, or long flowing skirts with combat boots. Yep, I was guilty from time to time. (At one point they had a punk/skater uniform which was possibly worse.)
Upon closer inspection, I think they might have mixed up their terminology a bit there. (((Fash mag vv wmn mag)))
Look, I am ever grateful to the 1990s for encouraging all of us to look deep inside ourselves and find the genuine, caring, warm-hearted human being inside. To reach deep within ourselves, and cultivate the talent and intelligence and other important philosophical directives. Also to their credit, they did at least tell us never to walk around naked, even as they advocated sloppiness.
