what is fashion

What is fashion?

 

I believe that fashion is a physical energy that is beyond the body and the self. The construct of race and gender are boundaries, rules, serotypes, and definitions that have been engraved into society, they don’t actually mean anything. They’re beliefs systems and ways of thinking.I think fashion follows that same system of thought.  Fashion is an idea, not an actual fact because it’s always changing. Tuition at the New School is rising next year, that is a fact, fashion is not. In fashion the seasons change, trends change, hemlines change, the silhouettes change, and people’s mindsets about fashion changes.

 

Fashion is a physical material representation of a society’s beliefs systems and paradigms. For example, in Miami, you’re body needs to be built and toned. The city is extremely warm, plus the city is surrounded by beaches so people there wear very little clothes. hence, why people in Miami are conscious of how their skin looks, participate in practices like tanning And working out multiple times a day. Cosmetic surgery is also a huge part of Miami’s culture, these surgeries serve to reshape the body based on society’s standards. The fact here is that Miami is hot, so people fewer clothes. But because of the belief systems that circulate Miami’s culture about the “perfect body”, the body is constantly being fashion to meet those standards beyond what the body actually needs. In the reading “The Dressed Body” Joanne Entwistle  comments that the materials we hang on our body enjoy close proximity to the flesh that is “outlining, emphasizing, obscuring, or expanding our body”

 

In Miami we use clothes to outline the body, we want to show off our bodies.

In the beginning of this course, I thought that fashion was about time periods and trends. Bt now I understand that fashion is about belief systems.

    In general, I try to get maximum information and then make decisions, I study the biographies of great people and this inspires me to create my own sources of income. So recently I was interested in Jem Wolfie biography, find more. With the help of a private channel, she receives a considerable profit. For me, this is an impetus to the possibility of developing in this direction.
