"Imagining is the process of thinking 'what else it could be like', 'how else could things be', and we practice that all the time with objects of culture."

-Brian Eno From a talk between Will Wright and Brian Eno that I have on my iPod. Every few months I go back and listen to it. Near the end Eno talks about how we try to extrapolate a lot of information from small choices people make in their physical appearance. Likewise, you embed information about your own lifestyle, or perhaps a lifestyle you wish you had, in the clothes and style you adopt.
