What's the Point of Fashion?

Okay, I'm two years behind the trend on creepers. But fashion has the memory of a gnat and what was once in, and now out will undoubtedly be in again at some point. Right?  Isn't the 90's the current decade du jour for fashion?

Insert Validation here.

Looking into the history of these "brothel creepers," I learned that:

"They found their beginnings in the years following World War II, as soldiers based in the deserts in North Africa wore suede boots with hard-wearing crepe (rubber) soles because of the climate and environment. Having left the army, many of these ex-soldiers found their way to the nightspots of London wearing the same crepe-soled shoes and these became known as "brothel creepers."

So what's the point of fashion if things come and go and eventually come back; like these shoes have done since the 1950's. 

Personally, the point has always been to try new things and make what was once old new again by putting your own spin on it. I believe that's what fashion does. Sure I was around when these creepers made a comeback during the early days of No Doubt and the gaining popularity of Ska music. But I couldn't have worn it back then because I would have come off as a poser in a mosh pit. Is there anything worse?

LOL...I said mosh pit! 

Now, I will wear these shoes to suit my life like a grown up Teddy Boy (Google this yourself for explanation). That's the look that was shown 2 years ago and that's how I'm going to wear it. I'm just behind the trend but always in style.

YES

Try it. Don't be afraid of fashion, it's just a pair of shoes.

NO

If you are the guy who puts the creep in creepers.

MAYBE

You've worn these shoes in a mosh pit and discovered that Vans work best.
