"Dress is cultural, political, habitual, environmental, as well as sumptuary; whether emanating from elitists, celebrities, or the street, fashion reflects a type of village or global collective wisdom. However, Australian dress and fashion superimposes a unique stamp on local or global trends, expressing a type of cultural individualism. Fashion, relative to national, global, or socio/historical influences can frequently be interpreted through a collective concept lens of its time in history. Australian dress and fashion mirrors socio/historical tenets as functional or ideological reflection of social change, in a particular historical duration."--Précie.
