Exploring the interplay of fashion and social dynamics, this treatise delves into how aesthetic considerations shape modern society. Drawing on theories from Veblen, Simmel, and Lyotard, it posits that fashion serves as a playful mechanism that balances individualization and socialization. By examining Georg Simmel's interpretation of Kant's aesthetics, the author argues that in a highly individualistic society, aesthetic judgments significantly influence daily life. The analysis highlights the importance of a 'community of taste' within social interactions.
