WHAT IS FASHION?

A popular trend, esp. in styles of dress, ornament, or behavior.

WHAT IS A TREND?

A general direction in which something is developing or changing.

THE BEGINNING

London and Milan have always been seen as

the capital of couture since the twentieth

century. Women’s clothing especially for the

wealthiest came from Paris but from the

1914s to the 1960s London was the industry

for clothing. It was challenging for French

models to introduce fashion in London and it

did not occur until “swinging” phenomenon

of 60s.

ADVICE COLUMN Dear Ms. Jane, I am a

teenage mother with a minimum wage working job. My job may not

pay a lot but I believe its just enough. I recently got an really

obsessive addiction to this hot pink Michael Kors tote bag. The price of the purse is $450.00. Although I do

not have the money for it now, I know that I could save up for it by

putting aside $50 from all of my pay checks for the next 9 months. I want to know if you believe this is a good

idea or not? I know it may seem that having the purse is not a necessity

but to me it is. I feel as if my life will never be complete if I don’t purchase this purse, I will never truly be happy

if I don’t get it.

Thank you,

Anonymous

Wow, Anon! You really must take your fashion seriously if you feel as if you can’t live with out that

bag. As the expert I must say that I do not believe that this is

a good idea! You have already said yourself that you don’t have

the money for it. I do admire your saving plan, but I don’t

think it’s just simple, as I'm sure you have many expenses that are more vital to your survival

monthly. I am sorry , but you’re request is DENIED.

POEM

Fashion is a way of life , If I didn’t have it Id probably die. Saying that fashion affects us all is no lie, from those Gucci shoes, up to

that polo tie. We all need fashion to survive, to keep up with the current trends we all

strive. There’s no telling what fashion will be in the future, as it’s a nurture to most of our time. All I know is that if you keep me in the

hottest gear ill be fine.
