We are what we wear

Fashion. It's a way of living to many. It's an art. It's a peek into our personalities. It's playfulness. It's an escape or a disguise. Fashion is the mean people use to express who they really are, or it is also the way to hide their true personalities.

There is not a right definition to what fashion is, fashion is what you want it to be. Fashion is you.

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." (french fashion designer, Coco Channel)

The question is, who sets the schemes of fashion? Some people may say that celebrities, others that the media but really, the one who sets the schemes is you. Each of us have our own style and tastes which according to our personalities may vary considerably. All that matters is that you like it and that it is an expression of who you really are. That is fashion.

I chose this topic for my blog because I´m extremely interested in fashion, its origins and the way its constantly changing as time goes by. What really surprises me is the way fashion comes and goes, the way some things go behind the times and suddenly are fashionable again four years later.

Personally, Im in love with fashion. I love following the latest trends, checking out what celebrities have worn and what is on at that moment. I believe that nowadays everything spins around it and new generations should take this into consideration.

As i have already said, there are different aspects of fashion. It is not only what you wear but it is also essential how you wear it and how it makes you feel. Fashion determines your personality and who you are in the eyes of others. This may sound superficial and it is in a way but, what are we supposed to do if we live in a superficial society?
