'Dedicated Follower of Fashion is a 1966 single by British band The Kinks. It lampoons the contemporary British fashion scene and mod culture in general. Originally released as a single, it has been included on many of the band\'s later albums. Musically, it and A Well Respected Man\" marked the beginning of an expansion in the Kinks\' inspirations, drawing as much from British music hall traditions as from American rhythm and blues, the inspiration for breakthrough Kinks songs like You Really Got Me. While it was quite scornful toward them, many of the fashionistas the song mocks would later take its title to heart. The Kinks ~ Dedicated Follower Of Fashion ~ Live in 1973 They seek him here, they seek him there His clothes are loud, but never square It will make or break him so he\'s got to buy the best \'Cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion And when he does his little rounds \'Round the boutiques of London Town Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends \'Cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is) He thinks he is a flower to be looked at And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight He feels a dedicated follower of fashion Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is) There\'s one thing that he loves and that is flattery One week he\'s in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes \'Cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion They seek him here, they seek him there In Regent Street and Leicester Square Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on Each one a dedicated follower of fashion Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is) His world is built \'round discoteques and parties This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best \'Cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is) He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be \'Cause he\'s a dedicated follower of fashion He\'s a dedicated follower of fashion He\'s a dedicated follower of fashion.'
