Anatomically we are garnish deprived
Any kind of sign that is realized over the body, in a tattoo, painting, clothing or surgery way, for example, can be understood like fashion, and this behavior is the first step for the culture construction, since the body is varied from the natural form to what is considered beautiful or different, when necessary.
Fashion is a natural part from culture and helps with the steady construction.

Todos nós fazemos e participamos, consciente ou desabercebidamente, da moda a nossa maneira. A construção desta partipação é autonoma ou colaborativa, influenciada ou inovadora, mas todos estamos na mesma vibE, nos diferenciar atraves do nosso interesse comum de nos destacar implicita ou explicitamente.
