Fashion statement

The thing to remember about fashion is that there are no absolutes in fashion ; what is fashionable today may not be so tomorrow , what is not fashionable today may become the rage in a matter of months.

When fashion is so fickle , how can anyone believe that fashion is so important ?

Also , one should remember that it is the man / woman who makes the dress fashionable ; the same dress worn by another person may not look great. Otherwise , why would some models become supermodels , if it were the clothes which alone were fashionable ?

I support this point. What one wears must make sense in the weather one is in and must be c comfortable. All too often we forget that comfort is an essential part of healthy living. In India for instance, particularly down south, it does not make much sense to wear clothes that dont breathe well or that dont absorb perspiration.

Fashion for any individual is to show-off what ever is possible. They want to follow the latest in the market and try to enact like westerners. Do we really need such kind of Fashion?? Well, may be not. Be your normal self and do not follow what others do. Buy what is really worth and not for mere show off purpose. Today, in the name of Fashion, people buy anything and everything to show-off their class and status. Ultimately, they end-up buying things which they never require.

I completely agree with you. A dhoti and white shirt worn over it, with a towel on the shoulder signifies respect in the South. Why can't it be a fashion... ?

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

it is knlowdege which gives impression not fashion , so we should go for knlowdege only by wearing good clothes it never gives good impression.

Fashion statement often leads to " show of money-power " which is not desirable. Cos and brands pick up this weakness and fix their strategy to propogate fashion amongst the affluents. As if, high cost - high fashion.

Generally Indians and Chinese believe in "Plain living and high thinking" - that may be a reason that we are leading the world these days. Further, ours is not a rich country, some have meagre income to support lives. Here vivid show of such "statement (fashion)" may devide the society a bit further.

Equally, may we not innovate fashion statement with less- costly items ? Perhaps we can.

Experts here may also let us know what remains the differences in :

Fashion statement and Style Statement.

It is purely POMP & SHOW!!

Its the clout of a kick called as "THE POWER OF MONEY"! Is i necessarily true that a man in a Mercedes Benz who wears a YSL shirt will deliberately wear CMABRIDGE for the love of his country??? Is that a guy driving a ZEN should not wear a VAN HUESSEN??

Brands in the luxury segment have a very high value of snob that is created by the communication that they convey and the medium that they use to convey it. It automatically creates an aura of being niche. Add to it the price tag and there you are,... Part of huge circus of POMP and SHOW!!
