Concept of fashion as a relation of power

My friend told me about a couple of months back that my belt buckles look ugly, and I told him that I'll kick his ass for saying that. We both laughed it off lol. Here's a little discourse on the concept of fashion. Fashion, or what is beautiful, is power-relative.

Case study: Take a belt buckle from Armani Exchange, remove the brand and show it to people. Perhaps, that's as far as beauty goes.

That said, there are reasons why Armani Exchange is where it is. Positive associations.

Armed firstly with leather, and secondly, it is the Italians and Japanese who designed the buckles we purchased. You can't go wrong. No, I should say you go right. Get your belt from me. Hee.
