Oscar WildeLady Bracknell. Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well. Algernon. Iโm feeling very well, Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. Thatโs not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together.
Oscar WildeFashion rests upon folly. Art rests upon law. Fashion is ephemeral. Art is eternal. Indeed what is a fashion really?

It is quite clear that were it beautiful and rational we would not alter anything that combined those two rare qualities. And wherever dress has been so, it has remained unchanged in law and principle for many hundred years.
