Fashion

fashion:

1 the current popular custom or style, esp. in dress or social conduct.

2 a manner or style of doing something (in a peculiar fashion).

Fashion has a number of different meanings and connotations, but here it is specifically apparel, shoes, etc.

To say in the least, fashion is important in the world – both traditionally and in a modern way. Everywhere around the world people show their own cultural identity through fashion.To name a few, there are the Dutch, French, English, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, African, Muslim, Spanish, Russian, Mongolian, Canadian, and American.

Modern fashions change as fashion designers design new styles for the catwalk and large brands come out with newer styles every year for people of all sizes, not just models. The leading fashion designers most apparent in the U.S. are Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, Saks, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. Fashion is one thing that everyone keeps up with everywhere around the world. For instance at the Oscars every year in th e U.S., T.V. reporters covering the awards always comment on stars’ attire, complimenting or subtly criticizing how they look.

So what’s in fashion these days? Well, it depends on the season. But let’s take spring as an example.

Step into a mall and you would say that the colors have gone wild. Solid, plaid, striped, studded, and polka-dotted skirts, tops, pants, coats, you name it, with logos everywhere. The fashion world takes people by storm with new collections for every season. No one looks back at the designs of last year, but starts afresh with new additions to their wardrobe

What is fashion?

Fashion is essentially about expression of human individuality, or an expression of a group or culture. More frequently when we think of fashion it is about clothing, apparels or garments used to cover our bodies, it does also concern accessories that are linked to fashion such as shoes, belts and even jewellry.

So fashion is really a combination of human creativity combining art, form and functionality. Although fashion is often considered as primarily a female concern there is still a significant male aspect.

Fashion also represents aspects of the social nature of societies, for example particular designs people wear may represent general attitudes and views in socciety.

The future of fashion

Where is fashion going to lead us? what might be the extreme extension of fashions? It is difficult to predict exactly but it is likely to be a gradual shift. Some fashions are unlikely to change very much ( eg suit and ties) have certainly been a staple.

Perhaps the most siginificant changes will be in materials and versatility of fashion. Incorporation of digital and electronic components into fashion, a kind of cyber fashion may be become more important eg include your MP3player as a broach or the a speaker system woven into a garment. It is really limited to the human imagination or inspirations from nature.

How does fashion work?

How anything works is really about how different components lead to the end result.

A-> B->C -> D

So for fashion

A may be raw materials,

B may be a design/drawing process,

C the selling/distribution process ,

D the presentation.

How fashion is classified is also important. This just means the kinds of garments that are part of fashion.
