Even clothes are reflexive, according to the author Virginia Woolf: “Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than merely to keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world’s view of us.… There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us and not we them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.”13 Winston Churchill spoke about the reflexivity of architecture when he said, “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”14
