Fashion literally means a trend or popular and latest style
of clothing, hair, decoration, or behavior. Fashion also covers people's better
adaptation of footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. It
can be defined in one phrase as “the art of creating fashionable apparel."
It is generally believed that ‘Charles Frederick Worth' was the first fashion
designer in the world dates back as 1826 who set up a fashion house in Paris,
France. History proves that after Paris fashion came to be a popular trend in
London and spread throughout the world. Fashion was the only unaffected
industry and institution in the period of great trade depression. The
money spends on fashion in a year is worth two trillion. It is very interesting
to see that the amount of money that consumers spend on clothes, footwear, and jewelry
each year is the equivalent to the combined gross domestic product (GDP) of the
126 poorest countries in the world – or just slightly larger than that. China
is dominant in having the world's large population. Inditex—headquartered in
Arteixo, Galicia, Spain—is the largest fashion apparel retailer in the world.
But in terms of annual revenue, Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) beats out
Inditex by a few hundred million dollars in the most recent fiscal year for
each company. Aldous Huxley humorously satires on American women in these terms
“American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they
spent before the coming of the slump about three million pounds a week.
Fashion is becoming
very popular because of art, personality, fun, industry, and history. Film
industries also promote and play a major role in one way or another. Fashion affects the lives of people, good or bad depending on the society where we
live. For example, sometimes girls face very crucial offense due to their
attires and style and boys vice versa. It is up to us either we like to be
dandy according to the particular environment and requirement or not, no one
can force us to do it. Obviously, people adapt new styles and fashions and
forgetting their traditions and culture which was once their symbol of the
entity. In this regard, western culture is a big source of inspiration. Whether
we follow it or not it is no denying that fashion becomes a significant part of
our lives.
Fashion is important in one way or another because it reflects
our culture and tradition. I am not agreeing with the point that it is a good
thing but it is a way to be differentiating others. According to the religious
perspective, cloths are your first protector and shelter. It protects us from
harm as well. The best way to enjoy fashion is to wear what you love and be
yourself. There is plenty of reasons why fashion is important and plays a
significant role in over lives. We can express ourselves best through fashion,
the first impression is the last impression, it can give confidence and
entertainment.
