时尚可以说是近代早期出现在欧洲的一种社会现象，本文试图确定它是否在东方的精致文明中是未知的。结论是，时尚不是欧洲人的发明。对印度、中国和日本服装体系演变的分析强调了这些社会是如何经历这样一些阶段的：由于有利的经济条件，消费倾向的增强刺激了人们的行为，这些行为挑战了传统的外表等级制度，而传统的外表等级制度通常是由规定性的法规来规范的。因此，时装不是欧洲人的发明，它只是作为一种社会制度在欧洲得到了充分的发展，而在印度、中国和日本，它只是部分地得到了发展，没有得到社会的充分承认。
Fashion was arguably a social phenomenon that emerged in Europe during early modern times, and this paper seeks to determine whether it was unknown in the refined civilizations of the East. The conclusion is that fashion was not a European invention. The analysis of the evolution of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese clothing systems underlines how these societies underwent phases in which, thanks to propitious economic conditions, the accentuated propensity towards consumption stimulated behaviour that challenged the traditional hierarchies of appearance, usually regulated by canons of a prescriptive nature. Fashion was not, therefore, a European invention, but it only fully developed as a social institution in Europe, while in India, China, and Japan it only evolved partially, without being able to obtain full social recognition.
