    EPIGRAPH: Dress has never been a straightforward business: so much subterranean interest and complex feeling attaches to it. As a topic, it is popular because it is dangerous -- it has a flowery head but deep roots in the passions. On the subject of dress almost no-one, for one or another reason, feels truly indifferent: if their own clothes do not concern them, somebody else's do.
