IF YOU'VE EVER THROWN OUT A RACK OF skirts because they suddenly looked too short or a collection of ties because they suddenly seemed too wide, you have been, depending on your attitude about shopping, either a beneficiary or victim of fashion. If you have wondered about the source of those periodic changes of taste, you also qualify as a student of fashion. Responding to these urges, hundreds of journals and newspapers deem it their duty to instruct you in the vagaries of dress and the musings of designers; indeed, some exist mainly to harvest the advertisements that flourish in such manuals. But they rarely teach you what is really going on. The best of the fashion magazines, like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, satisfy a lust for fantasy, the imaginary try-on of clothes you couldn't afford, fit into or dare to wear. The better newspapers report colorfully on the semiannual runway romps in Paris, Milan and New York. That is where the most famous designers advertise themselves by draping unnaturally thin, beautiful women in outrageous or sumptuous ways and exhort the public with novelties of style that might stimulate the sale of mass-produced imitations.
