“It’s interesting how everything seems to repeat and comes back around; through music, fashion, and all veins of culture. There are numerous theories, research, and areas of study around this concept that society goes through cycles, that all things recur.
As we see how our culture changes and conjures classics from the past into new forms of fashion, music, and other forms of expression, it’s undeniable that art inspires each subsequent generation’s creations. We should never forget the past great works, they nourish us and connect us as human beings.” – Stephanie Pyrzynski
