Aesthetics and Fashion

I believe these are not separable. A reasonable simile would be Siamese twins with too few organs to make two functioning independent persons. As I think on this it occurs to me that aesthetics and fashion have different bases.
Aesthetics is the search for beauty through philosophy. Fashion is the active pursuit of beauty. Add the market place and have a three body problem, an inherently unstable and unpredictable system.
