Everyone is affected by fashion to some extent. In the era of
early supermodel age, fashion could be categorized by glamour or
commons. Today, fashion is fast, trendless, comfortable, and personal.
Street fashion, as one of the most popular form, is more of a reflection
of personality and lifestyle than of trends in general. Because social
media have offered abundant avenues for people to get to know trends
happening now, fashion has becoming really shapeless. Hollywood stars
have their Facebook and Twitter accounts updating almost every second of
their day including what they are wearing. Thus, Stars set fashion
trends. However, Stars are not the only people only can openly express
their fashion styles. Bloggers of fashion, not just professionals, but
ordinary peoples, can send out their fashion style to the world. In an
instant, fashion has truly become everyday, everywhere, and everyone.
In
the information age and a much globalized world community, fashion has
transformed in its outlook, and concept as it starts embodying many
varieties of elements of different cultures. For example, in the 1980s,
jeans had monopolized youth culture not only in the U.S. but also other
countries, particularly East Asian countries like Japan and Korea. Now,
American styles are no longer the standard as designers of different
ethnic background incorporate their own outlook into their design. In
addition, in this much globalized world, ethnicity is no longer the only
factor that affect the trend in fashion as it was decades ago. Now,
people are guided by taste, lifestyle, and experiences. For instance,
Alexander Wang's simple power women's look has won many fans of
minimalism. Thus, it is possible the fashion's trajectory will more
closely appeal to people's lifestyle and social trends.
