THE EVOLUTION OF FASHION AND MODERN DAY TRENDS http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set http://2.bp.blogspot.com By: Valerie Guerrero and Chinelo Maduabuchukwu WHAT IS FASHION? A popular trend, esp. in styles of dress, ornament, or behavior. WHAT IS A TREND? A general direction in which something is developing or changing. THE BEGINNING London and Milan have always been seen as the capital of couture since the twentieth century. Women’s clothing especially for the wealthiest came from Paris but from the 1914s to the 1960s London was the industry for clothing. It was challenging for French models to introduce fashion in London and it did not occur until “swinging” phenomenon of 60s.

ADVICE COLUMN Dear Ms. Jane, I am a teenage mother with a minimum wage working job. My job may not pay a lot but I believe its just enough. I recently got an really obsessive addiction to this hot pink Michael Kors tote bag. The price of the purse is $450.00. Although I do not have the money for it now, I know that I could save up for it by putting aside $50 from all of my pay checks for the next 9 months. I want to know if you believe this is a good idea or not? I know it may seem that having the purse is not a necessity but to me it is. I feel as if my life will never be complete if I don’t purchase this purse, I will never truly be happy if I don’t get it. Thank you, Anonymous Wow, Anon! You really must take your fashion seriously if you feel as if you can’t live with out that bag. As the expert I must say that I do not believe that this is a good idea! You have already said yourself that you don’t have the money for it. I do admire your saving plan, but I don’t think it’s just simple, as I'm sure you have many expenses that are more vital to your survival monthly. I am sorry , but you’re request is DENIED.

Saying that fashion affects us all is no lie, from those Gucci shoes, up to that polo tie. We all need fashion to survive, to keep up with the current trends we all strive.
