Impact On Men's Fashion
In the sphere of the men's fashion, Louis contributed to the introduction of the wearing of wigs among men in 1624 that became fashionable for the first time since the days of the ancient Egyptians. This would be a dominant style among men in European and European-influenced countries for nearly two hundred years until the fashion changes brought about by the French Revolution.

Famous quotes containing the words impact on, impact, men and/or fashion:
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

“Democracy is morose, and runs to anarchy, but in the state, and in the schools, it is indispensable to resist the consolidation of all men into a few men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
