We adopt different fashions at different times, places and occasions. No one wants to be an old fashioned odd one and out of fashion. In modern times fashions have become indicators of a society’s progress in culture and civilization. Man is no animal to live for food only. He wants new styles, decorations, etiquettes, tastes and social manners to feel alive as a member of intelligent species. Human civilization itself is man’s intellectual product which requires constant inflow of new ideas. Fashions are external expression of the same effort to remain vibrant and progressive. In wider sense fashion is not limited to clothes and ornamental items only. The famous authors have their own styles and fashions of writing. Similarly there are fashions in music, architecture, painting etc. The fashions are all inclusive. They advertise a person’s economic prosperity, cultural wealth and the social upward rise.
Today fashion has become a big industry. Mumbai and Delhi are fashion hubs of India with year round fashion shows. In Europe, Paris and London have always been fashion savvy. New York is America’s fashion centre. Some people think that fashion’s are rich people’s indulgence in extravaganza, a sheer waste of money and time. But they should remember that fashion loving societies have outpaced others in the race of economic, cultural, industrial and scientific progress. The history is the proof.
