FASHION

When you talk of fashion then what do you understand from the word. WHAT IS FASHION? Most of us have a wild guess and think that fashion is all about wearing all the latest trends,
According to the Oracle Think Quest, Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most of people of a country. A fashion usually remains popular for about 1-3 years and then is replaced by yet another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily except the changes.
Fashion theories on the other hand give an explanation of fashion as a sign system of cultural change and tribal belonging. A look at class stratification, status, profession and requirements of clothing from everyday uniform to a mass youth cult uniform.
According to Cynthia Durcanin works for Elle Magazine
Fashion is a state of mind. A spirit, an extension of one's self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile. Most of all fashion is about being comfortable with you, translating self-esteem into a personal style. Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows people to try on many roles in life. Whether you prefer hip-hop or Channel-chic, fashion accommodates the chameleon in all of us. It's a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live. Fashion is about change which is necessary to keep life interesting. It's also a mirror of sorts on society. It's a way of measuring a mood that can be useful in many aspects, culturally, socially even psychologically. At the same time, fashion shouldn't be taken too seriously or you lose the fun of it.

I tend to agree with Cynthia because fashion for me is a habit l decide what to wear and make sure when l walk in a room everyone will notice that am in that room, its not about wearing the latest clothing that is so up and everyone is having on but its about wearing you being you letting go of that inner you. so when we get to say fashion then think about it
