WHAT IS FASHION?

In this ever-changing universe where trends are passing by in the blink of an eye, it can be hard to understand what fashion actually means.

The word fashion originates from a latin verb called 'facere' which means 'to make'.

To create something.

Fashion is expression.Like any other form of art, it's whole purpose is to make you feel something.

Fashion is art. It may be one of the most fundamental social and economic factors in our lives- but it also embodies a certain type of artistry.

It shows unity. People from all different walks of life are brought together under the romance of fashion. Without diversity, fashion is nothing.

Fashion transforms a pice of cloth into a creative piece worth thousands.

But the most important thing that I must elucidate is that fashion is, and always has been ,abstract. Ambiguos. Like blobs and strips of paint all swirling around on a canvas, clashing here and there to create patterns.

It is more of a concept than a specific highlighted textbook definition- and people interpret it differently. Thus the rapid rise and fall of trends. What's in and out of style.

Flannel then graphic tees: high heels then sandals: lacy tank tops then layered jackets - people continues to flip through the pages of the enormous book called fashion.

To some it can be ridiculous, an unessecary waste of time and money. To others, a method to express emotions in an extravagant way, and precious even in life or death.

What you wear tells a lot about your identity, before you open your mouth to speak. In a way, it's a language.

It does not matter what you wear: it's why and how you wear it and what it says.
