This is true that for every country in the world, Counter intuitively, the countries we can learn the most about by taking a closer look at how its people get dressed everyday, are those with the least to spend on lavish clothing, and the least at liberty to express themselves with the clothes they wear. The examples we are about to look at expose the true potency of fashion as a cultural and historical artefact.
