Fashion - Esoteric?

Perhaps. However, there are quite a few women who adore Sex in the City and its not because of the sex (even though it might be for the men). They dress well. How about the Devil Wears Prada? Another example of a common medium tracking high class culture. Fashion may have been something that was rather more sophisticated than sports, but I think it's coming down to the masses as a topic if it hasn't already.
