Elegant Survival

Why does the fashion industry go from one extreme to another? Plumber's crack specials are replaced by "Empire waisted" idiocies, which create another bad, disfiguring silhouette.

MSN, an entity that has joined the promoters of shallow pop-culture, has named clothing designer Tom Ford as one of the most influential men of 2009. The man is responsible for the shrunken-suit style that makes grown men look like ridiculous fools who will fall for any fashion dictum that comes along.

I have been writing about the corrosive effects of low-rise slacks, jeans, pants, skirts and trousers for nearly five years, especially here at Elegant Survival. Now, the prognosticator and Trends writer Gerald Celente predicts that there will be a return to elegance very soon, and that even  teenagers will stop walking around with their pants falling down--a phenomenon that used to cause great derision when I was young, and which has infected nearly every country on earth, thanks to American excesses. Perhaps people are tired of dressing like clowns, and being victimized by a cheap, cunning clothing industry that saves fabric dollars on their unwitting backs. Luxury is draping your body in high-quality cloth, not letting your posterior and midsection go uncovered for foolish fashion's sake. Stand up for yourselves, and pull up your pants, people!
