I have noticed that that fashion is in fact mimetic in every way. It also repeats itself. Trends from the 70’s and 80’s are coming back in style and mimicking the past. Society is influenced by fads around them and trends spread through this. I feel that celebrities are the ones that start trends, and next thing you know people actually believe that they should also do this. It’s like a sales technique. I know I do this all the time. I see some of my friends wearing a stylish outfit and it makes me want to go shopping. But when I do go shopping I try to find a different version of that outfit that fits “me” and my personal style. I saw some of my friends with feathers extensions in their hair, so I decided to also get it. Next thing you know I see feathers in every other person’s hair. I think celebrities started it, and hairstylists promote it. I know this is a reoccurring trend from the 80’s. I just thought it was interesting to notice how certain trends are mimetic.
