Fashion is not Frivolous

I feel very strongly about fashion, if you haven’t already noticed, and I find it interesting how some people think so little of it and/or don’t credit its importance. I began to really notice this when people started to ask me what I was majoring in, I would say “fashion merchandising” and they would seem less than impressed. It is very frustrating. I read an article not too long ago about the legitimacy of fashion, and it really got my gears turning. Fashion is often criticized for being frivolous, and it’s time that that idea be changed.  Fashion is by no means frivolous and should be given a lot more credit. There are a lot of very smart, educated people behind the garments you are wearing. It is a very thought out process, and it requires very creative minds. Everything you do revolves around fashion, whether you know/admit it or not. Fashion can define a person in others eyes, fashion is a way to express yourself, fashion is a lifestyle. Also, just to add, fashion does not define you, you define fashion. Fashion starts with you, the consumer.

What do you think of fashion? Do you judge people based on what they are wearing?

  1. I don't like to admit that I do, but I totally judge people based on what they are wearing. The types of things people choose to wear can say a lot about their interests, but at the same time someone's interests don't say whether they are a good person or not so thats makes me feel about clothing based judgements. At the same time though I can understand that there are so many people out there that its not excluding one because they don't seem to have a common interest with you is bad terrible? I feel like there will be someone who is better suited to understand them because they would have common interests and likewise with me.
