View submission: Are there any philosopher that talked about fashion? Or that were interested in it?
Georg Simmel wrote about fashion. Depending on your view, he might be considered a philosopher (sociologist here, and we consider him a social theorist, which, in my opinion, intersects quite strongly with philosophy). Either way, he makes interesting points. I'd check out his paper "Fashion" and also "Metropolis and Mental Life" where he discusses hypertrophy of objective culture to combat internal atrophy.
