Fashion has many different definitions. The word fashion is powerful and big. After I read the article, I picked two quotes that I think is true to me. I agree what it says that “Fashion is gossip. Never underestimate the power of gossip. Semiologists are driven into ecstasies of supposition by its whispers.” I really like the description of “gossip”, because gossip has a very strong power of dissemination. I far as I am concerned, fashion also has a very strong power of dissemination. Each year we can see different people are wearing most current popular clothes on the street, and each year has different or new fashion brand comes out and become popular. The power of fashion is Directness. People can use their eyes directly see what others are wearing or what is the current fashion trend, additionally, more people wear it then more people will follow it. Never underestimate the power of fashion.

The second quote that I also agree with is “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.” Everyone has their own intensely personal fashion sense. This quote reminds me of ‘defining what is fashion’. To me, fashion is personal definition. Every individual comes out with different definitions. All the designer believe their works will become popular a trend; designer trust their own fashion. That is why I agree what it says “memories re-lived and futures foretold.”
