So you are a resident of the United States...

Thought so.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting your point. Did you consider the
original article an insightful cultural analysis?

No.

I'm more interested in the origins of the writer than of the article

Fashion is subjective.

The original article tells me far more about the cultural origins of the
writer than about fashion in Italy.

Having travelled extensively in Italy I know damn well that Italians vary
in
their approach to fashion and what will be considered fashionable and
desirable in a city in Southern Italy will be considered gauche and naive
in Milan.

What is considered 'classic' and suave in Milan may well be considered
vulgar and over dressed in a sophisticated suburb/village in the Romagna

This is where you're losing me. I assume the original piece was
written by an American. An American writes a piece of trash; several
other Americans call it a piece of trash. What is the relevance of
their nationality?

The article cited was in an English newspaper. Does someone know the writer
is an American?
