Its funny how some folks frown at fashion as if to say it isn't relevant. But fashion IS relevant. There is a bit of fashion in all that we do. The walk, the talk, and the overall attitude. It is important to look your best even when you are not at your best. That's my mantra.
When any individual say, "its just clothes","the sole purpose is to provide a mean of defense against the elements".its like someone literally stuck a knife in me. With form comes function so FASHION is important.
If you have ever bought an item of clothing, then it matters to you, even sub-consciously.My clothing is an extension of self. Whatever I wear depicts my mood and vice-versa.
