The New York Times says,

Today in the New York Times (Thursday Styles), there was an article about how African culture inspired many designers. In my mind, this translates to, not much is happening right now, so we are going to write about something that has been happening for a long time, and make it sound like news. The people who read Thursday Styles, know about fashion, and this is not new news to them. I am not quite sure why they put that in there, I guess they just needed to use space, or they were trying to inform people who glanced at the title, or something like that. I guess, the answer is, because it is fashion, and fashion is just weird (even though it is called Thursday Styles, not Thursday Fashions).

Confused? Fashion is confusing.
