I can't help but disagree with this, especially when it's supported by a comment from the superficial world of fashion - IMO, nothing has less in common with Tango.
Part of the problem with Tango today is people following what they consider to be the latest 'fashion'. I think I'll stick with 'traditional'. What is Tango without tradition? Probably something that's no longer Tango.
