It's what's in. It's what sells. It's a million dollar industry. And the wonderful thing about fashion is it'll be here as long as people choose to express themselves through clothing. If you want to make a living out of clothing, it might not be a sure shot. History has proven that the poor will still be the ones clothing the rich, with a few exceptions. But if you insist, there's a way to hack the system. Learn how to predict the future. Learn the trends. Learn the factors that affect the needs of consumers, or create a need that they've never realized they needed. The good thing about fashion is that it's never totally different. The past will always have a role in the creation of the present.
I love the way fashion is like a window to the past. Things that are valuable during a period is shown in the way people dress. The ideal figure changes through time. Even the materials that they have invented is reflected on clothes.
Everything is connected. The easiest way to classify groups of people is by the way they look. Civilizations can sometimes be identified with their clothes. Uniforms are ways to identify members of an organization.
Fashion is everywhere. It haunts us. It's immortal.
