Simmel theorized on fashion. He addressed the dialectic thinking behind the whole mess of what is fashionable one year could be completely unacceptable to wear the next. He saw fashion as a area within society that proved to be quite contradictory. As an item of clothing or as in this case, the beard, becomes more and more mainstream in society, chances are it is about to become a fashion failure and Chris (my boyfriend) will shave it off. Over-hyped anything leads to the eventual disliking by mainstream society.
