Fashion as an aesthetic practice can only realize an aesthetic ideal if it contains the principle of harmony. In concrete terms, this means that the aesthetic representation of the person must correspond to the natural constitution of that person. All so-called fashion trends miss this goal; they are only temporary outbursts of a conditional zeitgeist, merely aesthetic representations of an attitude to or thought about life and can only in very isolated exceptional cases authentically communicate the character and being of the person.

The natural constitution of a person is made up of his or her physical features, character and internalized and embodied cultural imprint. Authentic representation does not mean to hide one's present qualities, but to modify them and to emphasize them.

For example, every man who has beard growth should make use of it. To shave every morning is a miserable torture and dishonest. The same applies to the rest of the body hair.

For example, a person who is dominant and aggressive in character should also choose appropriate clothing to communicate this. A bourgeois suit is simply the wrong choice here, the clothes must give much more the impression that the person is wild and uncontrollable, as is the case with forms of sleazecore.

Pic related, Mishima Yukio, who has realized this like few others.

You mean like aesthetic castes of sort? As in not in terms of cores which don't really give a fuck about what your constitution is, but as in fit and consequently tree of cores appropriate for constitution in question?

Having a tree of 'cores' to choose from negates the point he is making where the representation of that person should be based and correspondent on the "physical features, character and internalized and embodied cultural imprint".

You're only one person. That is if you are even a person. You don't get to chose.

Compartmentalization is death.

Your aesthetic representation ought to correspond to physical features, character and cultural imprint, yet there is a degree of freedom left in that you can self-determine some of the above. Physical features you can alter for example by participating in some sport such as bodybuilding, or they are altered as a consequence of some of the other categories, e.g. a monk who shaves his head. Character unfolds itself to some degree, but always in relation to your environment, thus you can determine your own self-development, as the aforementioned Mishima himself exemplary did, by striving towards the beautiful. And there is large degree of cultural flexibility that you can make use of to alter your self-identity, assuming that you are from a relatively diverse culture such as France, Germany, Japan, China etc.

All this boils down to is living authentically, really.

What? Really? I thought you were supposed to dress in cowboy-core if you work on a farm or live in close proximity to one.
