Unfathomable Fashion

Here is a terrific quote from one of my favorite authors, Bill Bryson, in his book: At Home, A Short History of Private Life:



"For anyone of a rational disposition, fashion is often nearly impossible to fathom.  Throughout many periods of history - perhaps most - it can seem as if the whole impulse of fashion has been to look maximally ridiculous.  If one could be maximally uncomfortable as well, the triumph was all the greater."

I think the shoes (sandals?) pictured here qualify as looking "maximally ridiculous."
