When a person is in fashion, all they do is right.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is considered fashionable, they have an elevated status in society. It implies that their actions, decisions, and choices are perceived as admirable or correct simply because they are trendy or in line with current popular trends. It implies that the concept of "fashion" tends to overshadow critical evaluation and people tend to follow without questioning, assuming that everything the fashionable person does is right. This can be interpreted as a reflection of how easily society can be swayed by trends and the influence that popularity and perceived style have on people's judgment.
