Fashion is not mearly the clothes we wear on our backs but our entire existance

It is the wise words of our dearly departed revolutionary Fashion Icon Coco Chanel that brings true meaning to the world of Fashion. "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." - Coco Chanel.We often look upon what we wear each day, what couture we see in the media and what others wear as Fashion but who are we really fooling. Fashion leaks far greater into our entire existence than we acknowledge. Fashion can be described as the prevailing style or custom, shape, form or configuration in society, so how is it from this that we have been so closed minded as to what Fashion really means? Fashion can be any trend that people opt to follow. The sudden rush to twitter after the Facebook frenzie wore off, the sudden need for the Chanel Ruby Red Lipstick, or no.5 nail polish and the craving for those pastel coloured nutrient waters that seemed to penetrate our daily drinking routines. Fashion makes you tick, fashion makes you crazy, the need to always see something new, buy something new, to feel brand new is the addictive ingredient in what makes Fashion at the forefront and core of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, Fashion dictates a lot of things. What people consider trendy to wear, what people condone to drink and eat, what consumers say is okay to love. Whats hot, whats not.... yes it is indeed essential to keep in the loop with all these things, but if someone tells you your blue blazer and faded jeans are out of style... still wear them. If you still love Facebook and refuse to join twitter.... then don't. Follow and run your own race. Fashion whilst diverse is ever changing and subjective for all eternity. No one is right or wrong in the world of Fashion, others are just embraced greater than others due to the demand and needs of society at the particular time. Justice will prevail so stick to your gut feeling and shine in your own way.
