Does a Fashion trend really affects our Society?

“Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s a movement, design, and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be. Just like your scarf suggests that you’d like to sell used cars.” Said, Blair Waldorf, author.

Fashion is nothing but a constantly moving trend which now a day’s changes like months and dates. The term is basically allied with clothes and accessories but with the time the concept have also been changed where people have became more advanced and instead of watching magazines and actors for fashion, people have created their own ideologies and relate fashion to what they wear. Although fashion is a broader concept but modern people have limited it to down to fabric, apparel, and accessories.

Whether it be a knee length skirt, rough denim, traditional wear or hot pants every girl desires to look best in each and every outfit they carry but in the race to become fashion icon, they really forget ‘Whether our society is still that modern or will they accept their fashion change’

“What needs to be changed is a thinking of the society and not fashion because fashion is a reflection of our inner souls which is surely not be questioned and doubted by anyone” said, Amrita Singh student.

If we compare Western countries with India, there is a huge gap yet. The outside countries are too modern in thinking and wearing both. They do have a fashion culture but without restrictions but if we talk about India, it is still at its growing stage where change in fashion is considered as a disaster where girls are still looked as prey if they even wear a jean with a crop top.

“Well what I feel is now days, fashion is more about comfort than looks and style but there is a huge difference between culture and society where society is changing fast and it will somehow accept what people are comfortable with but as far culture is concerned it has a traditional approach and have some reservations also which is a bit difficult to modify but then experts have introduced different fusions of styling to make fashion trends fit into culture”, said Rakshan Shamim Zahid, fashion expert and an active member of CII Indian Women  Network (IWN).

Fashion is something which allows people to express themselves in an individual way. It provides diversity in society which can only be a healthy thing. It shows that people have freedom and therefore allows them to relax and feel comfortable for who they are. Overall it makes for happier individuals which results in a more prosperous society. WTN
