The Emperors New Clothes by Karen Chappelow

An expressionist review of an old children’s fable

As the children’s story – The Emperors New Clothes by Hans Christian Anderson goes, the emperor spends lavishly on clothes and gets swindled by weavers playing on his vanity but telling him that these will appear invisible to those that are stupid or incompetent, his courtiers pretend that he is wearing clothes as they do not wish to appear foolish.

As an idiom, use of the story’s title refers to something widely accepted as true or professed as being praiseworthy, due to an unwillingness of the general population to criticize it or be seen as going against popular opinion. So much can be said for fashion trends and people’s willingness to look ridiculous because it is deemed in vogue…my emperor here wears his budgie as a hat-why wouldn’t you?
