Let’s talk a little bit about fashion.

People have different attitudes to fashion. Some don’t care what they wear, others, especially women are interested in fashion. Fashion is the style of dress and behaviour that is common or popular at a certain time. New styles, materials, shapes and patterns appear, last for a certain time, disappear and later come back a little bit changed. Clothes also provide various important functions:

Protective – to protect us against cold, frost, rain, sun etc.

Decorative – to look nice, to be ready especially for formal events, ceremonies, rituals

Emotional – to express our emotions and feelings (especially through colours)

Social – to show which social class we belong to, to show specific social status

From the perspective of the people: When people don’t know you they judge you by appearance and especially clothes. When you see the person wearing a perfect expensive suit your brain creates the image of successful businessmen in front of you. Instead, the person wearing old jeans and simple T-shirt won’t be allowed to enter the restaurant or many other establishments.

What does fashion designer do.

A fashion designer is a creative who designs clothing using knowledge of industry trends, materials and fabrics, sewing techniques and garment construction. They can work for larger clothing companies or smaller independent design labels. They typically have training in sewing and clothing production.

My favorite stylist is Christian Dior.

Legendary fashion designer Christian Dior exploded onto the Paris fashion scene with designs that flew in the face of wartime restrictions and reintroduced a femininity and focus on luxury to women’s fashion. His resulting success, based on the innovation of both his designs and his business practices, made him the most successful fashion designer in the world. His designs have been worn by film stars and royalty alike, and his company continues to operate at the forefront of the fashion industry.
