Fashion is intensely personal, in the same way that poetry is intensely personal. It is a medium through which personal stories can be told, memories re-lived and futures foretold.

 

Fashion is a profound expression or rather extension of oneself through the way one presents oneself. It is a unique understanding or interpretation of style and trends, which varies from person to person. Every individual’s choice or liking is varies according to their culture, customs, values, faith and beliefs. Fashion is a visual narrative of beautiful memories made between people, for example, a hand knit sweater made by a person’s grandmother would remind them of their childhood.

 

Fashion moves in space and time. It shares in the complexity on physics and mathematics, making patterns and networks, forming mazes and constellations. Through its forms we have an opportunity to re-unite art and science and to heal the rift of two cultures.

 

Fashion is ever changing which therefore causes it to be subjected to innovation and technology. In today’s time people want to see fast results with no compromise in quality. This goal can only be achieved through science or to be more specific physics.

Fashion respects every culture and tradition. In its spirit of innovation it is always trying to bring two different cultural values and beliefs together. For example, the concept of Burkini, which is a body-covering swimsuit for Muslim women. This is beautiful innovation for Muslim women as it respects their culture as well as allows them to have some leisure.
