Trickle-Round Signals: When Low Status Becomes High
When and why do high-status individuals adopt things associated with low-status groups? We propose a trickleround theory of fashion and demonstrate that high-status poach from low-status groups to distinguish themselves from the middle-status. Further, consistent with our signaling approach, this effect depends on the presences of multiple signaling dimensions.
