The latest fashion shows from Paris Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week have shown us that what people wear is a creation based off one’s own values and ideas. The designers that take on high-end fashion are not always in it to set trends; they are in it to express a new way of looking at things. They are there to tell a story or send a message through their designs. This is what we as consumers are doing when we put on outfits every day. Some people find it challenging to go outside their comfort zones of wearing what they feel calls their names, and so they resort to wearing something more “basic.” This does not mean what you’re wearing isn’t trendy, but it does mean that it does not represent anything bigger than a simple trend.
