This actually reminds me on what I've read about a period in French monarchy (I'm a bit foggy on the specifics of the time and place and people involved) where the French aristocracy developed a fascination with the "simple life" and would play dress-up to recreate the perceived "ease" of the life of the peasantry (because they were of course entirely detached from the burden carried by their subjects). This wasn't fueled by some sort of Calvinist attempt to appear humble but rather the belief that those peasants were all having a lot more fun so by trying to dress like them and play pretend you could have fun like they do. |
