hm, interesting field opens now. so for example, would you consider people using polaroids to be traditionalists or (does this word exist?) fashionists?
how about timeless fashion?
or traditions gettin into fashion?

^ well if a traditional dress enters fashion it won't be there for a long time, so i would say that is purely fashion. With polaroids it is complicated as there are peole here for different reasons, and i don't think that polaroid are very fashionable, else it would be much easier to get film, etc. However, I know that I have been taking polaroids for a long time, and that I never did it because it was fashionable. I would go so far as to say it makes me extremely geeky. Some people come here because holga has become fashionable and it may be a fad for some...I take polaroids because of the intrinsic quality that they possess, and will always take them, and are my preferred medium. BUT, I would not say I am a traditionalist- as I don't think anything about polaroid is 'traditional'...i think polaroid is extraordinary and has always been chosen for its particular merits. Timeless fashion doesn't exist- it's just an expression. Everything comes and goes, the only thing we can be certain of is that black will always be 'in'...! Traditional dress exists by shunning fashion- else it would cease to be traditional.

my guess is there sure exists fashion in tradition..

^ or not, and that it all depends on whether the company has only imported five fabrics for each season in order to simulate fashion...or...that its reliant on winter/summer traditional wear...either way its funny! surely tradition is the opposite of fashion?
