By looking back into the history of fashion, if any fashion element went even one step beyond the traditional standards, it would be considered as betrayal. All betrayals would be undoubtedly resisted by mainstream culture (aristocracy culture). After the recent half century, postmodern fashion designers have been evoking people to question and debate about the traditional aesthetic standards of fashion. It is the moment of fierce shocks between mainstream and non-mainstream culture, and traditional and modern aesthetics. The inspiring spark broke through all fetters and would bring about the aesthetic judgment of non-mainstream culture into the saintly palace of high fashion. The consciousness of the non-mainstream culture of postmodernism will continue to create newer items and turn fashion culture into a new era. It is important for future research on aesthetics to directly look to impacts on human aesthetics in fashion, and furthermore, in attitudes towards values or life.
