What is Fashion?

It's very hard to say what actually constitutes fashion today. Fashion in  society has become a little confusing. With the explosion in multi media and society fragmenting into various cultural, ethnic and class grouping, each has its own unique fashion trend.

You could argue that the glossy magazines featuring  exclusive and expensive fashion houses lead the way, but try telling this to a young teenager into heavy metal who has their own unique way of dressing, or Asian women who follow the traditions of their culture.

But, isn't this what fashion actually is? A form of non verbal communication. A way of indicating a set of characteristics dependent on yours and like minded individuals with the same beliefs or social standard!
