Quote by George Bernard Shaw

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

Summary

This quote suggests that fashion trends are not inherent or natural, but instead are manufactured and spread widely among people, much like a contagious disease. It implies that fashion is not a genuinely personal choice but rather a result of external influences and societal pressures that cause individuals to adopt certain styles or trends. The comparison to an epidemic indicates that fashion can rapidly spread and infect a large population, only to fade away and be replaced by a new trend, leaving individuals constantly chasing after the next fashion phenomenon.
