Fashion and Friends

In the immortal words of Coco Chanel
"Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes; fashion is in the air, born upon the wind; one intuits it… it comes from ideas, manners, events…”
In simple, fashion doesn't just mean putting on some nice clothes. Fashion is the materialistic embodiment of self expression. Every event in out lives affects us in a way that can be expressed though our clothes.If we were brought us in a conservative manner we will dress conservatively. If we were brought up by parents that valued and promoted self expression we will dress however we like. Which leads us to the question, if we can dress however we like then what influences what we will wear?The answer to that question is one word, one which is only two syllables long and has shaped the earth itself. Fashion.

A dictionary definition of fashion would be "a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc." We can easily see that this definition was written by someone who has never experienced wearing a little bit of Prada. Fashion is much bigger than any non-fashionista can imagine. Clothes are used only for 2 things, protection and warmth. "Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeed." Yet again some more inspiring words from Coco Chanel. However, the self proclaimed queen of self expression may beg to differ. Lady Gaga exhibited a new idea in fashion the instant she slipped on this little number.

When I say slipped, I mean more of slimed into it. By wearing a vegetarian's nightmare we have finally hit the bare bones of fashion. This momentous occasion in fashion when the world realised that fashion is more than just clothes, it's pure self expression.
In my personal opinion, if someone were to say to me "You're unfashionable" I'd take it as a compliment. To be fashionable means to conform to the current clothes that are "cool", which is quite frankly the complete opposite to self expression.
