Fashion has not been around as long as you may think. Fashion is not clothes, its wearing them in a certain way. If you look up the word fashion in the dictionary, you’ll find ‘a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette and socializing.'
The first time fashion began to become a factor of everyday life and importance (to women especially) was around the 15th century.
Women, as they had to look respectable and worthy of a husband, wore a lot of layers and had to cover up their arms, legs, shoulders and necks. If they didn't they were thought to be disrespectful and unlikely to get a good man for a husband.
Fashion was also important because it showed off how wealthy you were. A poor woman could not afford to wear big custom dresses with lots of layers and expensive materials (silk, muslin, netting etc.) They would wear very plain dresses of drab colours such as beige, grey and navy, as it was more practical for housework such as cooking and cleaning.
In men, fashion wasn't as important; but if you were rich enough to have good clothes, it was a bonus. When choosing a wife, again it was the type of thing that would be taken into account.
Since then fashion has become a part of our daily life; it has grown and evolved like everything else and in our everyday world it is a massive industry, that spreads throughout the world, especially in the fashion capitals France, Britain, New York and Tokyo.
In my next blog I will bwe talking a bit more about how fashion has changed throughout the centuries and why these changes have occured.

And some days it don't come easy,
ReplyDeleteAnd some days it don't come hard,
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end!
And some nights you're breathing fire.
And some nights you're carved in ice.
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again.
And maybe I'm crazy.
Oh it's crazy and it's true.
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.
As long as the planets are turning.
As long as the stars are burning.
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!
That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there till the final act.
And I would do anything for love,
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact.
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight.
And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that!
There's colors on the street
ReplyDeleteRed, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, the Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, and a government
for hire at a combat site. Left of west and coming in
a hurry with the furys breathing down your neck. Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing. Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll do to Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
