Talking about fashion for people, People always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but they have to figure it out. They try to make it their own. I think that’s the thrill in fashion. If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish; they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, and original. They were not following the trends but making their own. So back to talking about Coco Channel she didn’t follow the era of long gowns and ruffles but revolutionized the industry but creating the simple and stylish Little Black Dress. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high

stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat. So be the right kind of shoes or the right kind of outfit everything is related to your Mood. But it is not only for the costumers, fashion is also for the designers. The hardest thing in fashion is not to be known for a logo, but to be known for a silhouette. Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If someone has good taste and has choose what suits them, it’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic. One doesn’t want fashion to look ridiculous, silly, or out of step with the times - but you do want designers that make you think, that make you look at fashion differently. That’s how fashion changes.

Today men and children are as influenced by and responsive to fashion as women •The third misconception is that fashion is a mysterious and unpredictable force. Actually its direction can be determined and its changes predicted with remarkable accuracy by those who study and understand the fundamentals
