I feel like I have learned a lot from this thread. I just have no idea what I have learned.

Modern art hardly improves, it just reflects on art. Some sort of glorified intellectual circle jerk if you will. Of course not everyone wants to send the message they're a professional lawyer at all times and much of today's clothing choices are influenced, one way or another, by the mythification of the individual rebel in western and specifically American culture. If it wasn't for those countercultural jerkoffs we'll probably still have a wardrobe consisting of 5 grey suits and 10 white shirts with two pairs of shoes, nothing drives standardized industrial production of well categorized looks like the need of the market for an always renewed individuation.

They call me the pants whisperer in certain circles. Sadly I can't enter the state of Michigan anymore due to a dark incident of public dialogue with a pair of pants who's owner wasn't cooperative.
But 'art' is a different matter. It does not need to do anything other than say whatever it says. Modern art was arguably a sort of improvement if you agree that forms, colors, and proportions were the elemental and sufficient building blocks of all art that preceded it. Of course, you may not agree with that premise, but that doesn't reduce the value of the art since all it has to do is say something to the viewer, even if it merely raises a question. I agree, people do not need to all dress the way we did 50 years ago. But that does not mean that people who dress that way do so to mimic the past or because they lack individuality.
Your English readers are no doubt amused ...
Pants = Panties, is the point, I think.

First in with spalla camicia before the lock.

I see; clever. But I'm going a step further and arguing that Thom Browne's 'essay' is a bad one. He hasn't made the case for his changes to existing norms, or even demonstrated that the existing norms need changing at all.
Yay!!! Essays you can wear.
I still don't think I understand the essay's thesis or, rather, understand how the essay's thesis is being proved by the body text.
I didn't read your post other than to see that you didn't use "dialogue" or "tension". You need to use those words if you are going to talk about this stuff. "Opposition" is good to. So is using nouns as verbs.
Why the anti-intellectualism?
