HAMBURG
“For this reason fashion, which represents the variable and contrasting
forms of life, has since then become much broader and more
animated, and also because of the transformation in the immediate
political life, for man requires an ephemeral tyrant the moment
he has rid himself of the absolute and permanent one. The frequent
change of fashion represents a tremendous subjugation of the
individual and in that respect forms one of the essential complements
of the increased social and political freedom.“ 498
498 Simmel (1971:318).
