It's hard to believe apart from designing clothes, shoes, and accessories; the fashion industry can also manipulate and influence the public as well. The fashion industry creates a huge impact in our society, sometimes without us even realizing it. People are fascinated with keeping up with the latest trends and must-have items. Even if it's an ugly fur miniskirt or mustard yellow liquid leggings, fashionistas are bound to conform, no matter how ridiculous the garment may look. But then again, fashion is art, so it may appeal to some and not to others. If the designs weren't associated with fashion houses like Gucci, Prada, or Louis Vuitton, people would view them differently and with a more open mind. The public is also inspired by notable designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander Wang, and Marc Jacobs. Fashion designers can be seen as iconic to many people interested in pursuing a career in the fashion industry, or who are simply just interested in fashion. Similar to actors or musicians, it's pretty amazing when a designer starts off at design school and later on becomes a style influence for the world.Personally, I enjoy the designs from Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, and Louis Vuitton. Even though these brands are contrasting, in terms of style, they all still appeal to me. Marc Jacobs' designs emit a fun, bold, and quirky essence, while Alexander Wang's work has an effortlessly cool and edgy feel to it.
It's a diverse place out there in the world of fashion and we can quite easily be swept away by it.
It is crazy how many trends and fads there are in the world relating to fashion. It's true many of us would wear a paper bag if someone told us it was fashionable or if it was labeled Gucci or Prada. It is ridiculous how much fashion influences the way we think and the media just enforces these messages because they make a profit.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to say that ideas and feelings shouldn't be expressed, but also have no trouble saying that those ideas and feelings are stupid. Some of the stuff that I've seen people wearing wouldn't even make it to the market if it didn't have a major label on it. And even if it did, it would be sold at 1/4 the price. It's gotten to the point that people aren't looking for clothes anymore, they're looking for names.
