What is Fashion?

Fashion is normally referred to a style of clothing, accesories, shoes, hair and all that is in trend or rather that is a custom. The word is normally used in a positive sense as a synonym of glamour and beauty but that is not all. Fashion is also a personal mode of expression although it may not prevail for everyone. This is something we deal everyday even if not conciously. Some people often tell that they do not bother what they wear but those people also choose their clothing every morning before going out.



Fashion is the largest business around the world because everyday millions of people buy, sell, glue, dye and stitch clothes. Millions of clothings are transported everyday and its still growing larger.  The ads we see everyday in hoardings, televisions and newspapers often give us an idea of what to wear and what not to when. We thus come to know what is in 'fashion'.


Fashion goes hand in hand with film industry which is a world of glitz and glamour. However, it is not at all true that what the celebrities wear are fashion. Fashion can be your own style, something that you feel you look good in and you are comfortable in. Nowadays even the fashion designers take tips from street fashion to create something different rather than lookin upto Milan and Paris.


Fashion is a mode of self expression and if it is taken too seriously we lose the fun of it. Fashion is also a mirror of the mood and the society i belong to and a reflection of my taste too. So fashion can be something or nothing!
