Fashion: Not only the clothes we wear.

Fashion? What is fashion? Yes, its current styles and trends, but is also so much more. It defines who we are and it’s the way of expressing ourselves. It’s not just about the clothes we wear, it’s about the hairstyles we choose, the places we choose to meet with friends and even the cars we drive.
Fashion is important in my life. I read magazine after magazine to see what the latest trends are.  I spend hours shopping online on various different fashion outlets, ASOS, Boohoo, Desire Clothing, you name them I’ve been on them!  Fashion is forever changing and that’s the beauty of it, but styles always come back in.  Take leggings for example, I wore them when I was around 5 and hated them they were ugly looking things, now leggings are highly in fashion.
  As Coco Chanel said “Fashion is made to become unfashionable” . As soon as a trend takes it off and everybody is wearing it becomes unfashionable.  Fashions are meant to change otherwise there would be no such thing as fashion. 
Fashion is everywhere, on the tv, in magazines, on the internet and in the street. No matter how hard you try to escape from it, you can’t. Even if you believe your look is truly individual and doesn’t revolve around fashion, it isn’t , unless you make your own clothes that no-one else can buy!

Anyone have any comments about what fashion means to them?

hello,

Hi, I am a second year advertising student at Bournemouth University. I have just been told that this term I will be assessed on a weekly blog, something I have never written before, so this should be fun! I guess seeing as being a student I spent most of my time on the internet this shouldn't be too hard to maintain, although unlike Facebook I won't have a homepage clogged up with people "liking" every page possible. 
So I am already running out of things to say so I'll leave it for now. =)
