No matter what the answer to that question is, your choice defines your personal style.

While you don't put much thought in it, it is something that really plays a defining role in your day to day life. Style is something that isn't effected by trends or disapproving looks, doesn't care what is popular, what the celebrity are wearing. While style is something that can adapt and change with the trends, it always has a personal spin on it. So you might wear the white jacket because it is the popular thing, but you bedazzle it. See that small change makes it more personal, that way it is not just fashion, but it crosses in to the line of fashion. Style is something that just places the emphasis on you, and what you want. Its that relationship with the internal. It is more concerned with the consumers thoughts, preferences, and opinions. The ultimate question for that would lie in, “Is what I am wearing today, something that I really want to wear, or am I just wearing it because all of my friends are wearing the same
Generally, when people think of ‘fashion’, they instantly think about the “glitz and glamour” however, they never give much thought into the sociological aspect behind it.

Fashion has been around ever since ancient times, since the time of the Romans, it survived the world wars and is yet today a business with rapid changes. Fashion started off as an art form, a way for the riches to show their social status with unique and innovative designs that only they could afford. It was a way to separate the social classes of the society. In this paper I will include the creator of haute couture, and how the following designers developed couture, as well as having leading names in today’s ready-to-wear industry.

Fashion is an outlet people use to express themselves. People anxiously wait to see what the next trends are as seasons pass by. We buy anything that doesn’t break a bank, people buy a $10 shirt just because it’s cheap and they might not even wear it, but it’s all right, since it wasn’t expensive. As harmless and normal as that scenario sounds, the fashion industry has created the harmful concept that is “fast fashion”, in which stores sell an abundance of extremely cheap trendy clothing and “where deliveries are small and often, with stock delivered twice a week, for instant-access fashion.” (Cochrane)

Fashion takes on many different facets and concerns many subsets— a model sashaying down the runway in a gown encrusted in real gems, Lady Gaga’s infamous dress made of cuts of raw beef, a teenage girl obsessing over the season’s latest styles— it is all an expression of our minds and who we are or want to be, made tangible. It is a medium just like any other, for while artists wield brushes and paints, designers use thread and cloth to illustrate their vision. The artistry is none more so apparent than in the exclusive world of haute couture, a world of extravagance that caters to aesthetics, producing one-of-a-kind wearable masterpieces that are made to be admired rather than worn.
