Five Principles of Fashion
Consumers establish fashions by accepting or rejecting the styles offered.
Fashions are not based on price. Fashions are evolutionary, but rarely revolutionary
in nature. No amount of sales promotion can change the
direction in which fashion are moving. All fashions end in excess.

classes only if, and after, they are accepted by upper classes, and upper classes will reject a fashion once it has flowed to a lower social level

Trickle up
The young, particularly those of low-income families and those in higher income groups who adopt low-income lifestyles, are quicker than any social group to create or adopt new and different fashions.
