”Perhaps we can think of fashion as custom for a time and culture as custom over time”

I believe The quote “Perhaps we can think of fashion as custom for a time and culture as custom over time” from cultural fashion studies (Kaiser) is trying to convey the difference in culture when it comes to custom over time or custom for a time. In other words, Fashion is so fast paced in today’s society which we call fast fashion; with a blink of an eye a trend change to a different trend. That’s where I believe “custom for a time” is implied. We all follow a trend, but trends aren’t suppose to last so it only last for a certain time. However, “custom over time” to me means seeing culture as custom over time. In other words, culture never changes, it’s carried through generations. Fashion can impact fashion but I don’t think it can change it because it has already had a strong foundation. Therefore, the quote “Perhaps we can think of fashion as custom for a time and culture as custom over time” has a difference between custom for a time and culture as custom over time”.
