About the book >.>.> The form details and colours of a garment reflect more than anything the ideological idiosyncrasies of people and are intimately connected to the behaviours that express the society in which we live. They contribute to creating an overall atmosphere the “mirror of an age” which characterises the psychology of the times. The idea of pointless superficial fashion at times an expression of affectation that exists as an end itself is ultimately overcome. Despite the old saying “The habit doesn’t make the monk” we all grant a significant role to clothing. The Latin word “habitus” can be inter prered first and foremost as “external appearance” and more generically. as “behaviour”. The search for elegance an expressive form associated with improving one’s own appearance dates back to the time when humans began to abandon nudity reflecting the longings of their collective imagination as well as the depth of their inner selves. How can we deny that a pair of gloves a hat a shawl or a piece of jewellery is capable of highlighting the personality of the person that wears them adding or emphasising charm mystery security belonging empathy attraction or repulsion (and much more) in our relationships with others?
