What is Fashion?

Fashion is the style and custom prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage however, "fashion" describes the popular clothing style. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole. Fashion designers aim to create wearable pieces of art.

Our Purpose…

To some, fashion is an art form. To others, it is almost a religion. You can use fashion to express yourself, to serve as an extension of your personality: goth, skater, soccer mom, professional.

We as a group reached the conclusion that the opinions regarding “fashion” are diversified. Many people thought that fashion, is not important in our daily lives and that everyone have their own style. We consider that the way we look is important provided that we feel comfortable with ourselves.
