HOW IS FASHION IMPORTANT

In general, fashion is important because it reflects every culture in the world. It was a way to create different social groups and be differentiated according to your status (I am not saying it’s a good thing but it is what it is). Our first clothes existed to protect our body from harm and cold. It slowly turned into an industry - from jewellery to shoes and clothes. We do not wear the same clothes through the centuries so fashion trends have always been a thing. I think people feel overwhelmed when it comes to fashion because it is fast and trends are every-time shorter but it is just following our digital world where everything goes faster.

Nowadays, fashion is still a mean or recognition for your status or social group in a way or another. What I mean is that fashion is a way of self-expression - you can either choose to play with it or let others decide what your outfit tells about you.

More than self-expression, fashion is a mean of self-empowerment and confidence. My clothes would change something within me - sometimes I will feel more comfortable, confident with myself because I am wearing a specific pair of shoes or an outfit. Go on shopping to find new outfits is to me self-care time and I can pampered myself. I feel very satisfied whenever I wear something I truly like, I feel good in it and it helps me to build my confidence and my self-esteem. The best in fashion for me: I am who I am, I show to the world who I am and I feel more confident about it.
