Fashion is a state of mind. An extension
of one’s self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream
or an all knowing wink and smile. Most of all fashion is about being comfortable
with yourself, translating self-esteem into a personal style.
For centuries individuals or
societies have used clothes and other body adornment as form of nonverbal
communication to indicate occupation, rank, gender, sexual availability,
locality class, wealth and group affiliation. Fashion on the other hand is a
form of free speech. It not only embraces clothing, but also accessories,
jewellery, hairstyles, beauty and body art. What we wear and how and when we
wear it, provides others with shorthand to subtly read the surface of a social
situation.
