Barriers have been lowered and blinds have been raised on fashions in art, music, films, clothing, cuisine, which have spread globally at an astonishing speed on the wings of media advertising, multinational enterprises and mass marketing techniques induced by the economies of scale. In this process, considerable convergence and even homogenisation of these various elements have taken place.
