| Fashion is
something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don't care what
they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how
they feel that day.
One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear. Ray-Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men In Black. Sometimes a trend is world-wide. Back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley. |
| Fashion is big business. More
people are involved in the buying, selling and production of clothing than
any other business in the world. Everyday, millions of workers design, sew,
glue, dye, and transport clothing to stores. Ads on buses, billboards and
magazines give us ideas about what to wear, consciously, or subconsciously.
Clothing can be used as a political weapon. In nineteenth century England, laws prohibited people from wearing clothes produced in France. During twentieth century communist revolutions, uniforms were used to abolish class and race distinctions. |
