Fashion is an odd jumble of contradictions, of sympathies and antipathies. It exists only by its being participated among a certain number of persons, and its essence is destroyed by being communicated to a greater number. Fashion constantly begins and ends in the two things it abhors most - singularity and vulgarity.'  
William Hazlitt, 1778-1830, English critic and essayist.
