Fashion now-a-days has become a big business in which huge investment is made. With the change of fashion ~ lot of money is lost and earned.
The mini skirt, midi, and hot pants all have made news in their own times. It is a fashion to print photographs of pretty girls to saleable. make the magazines Paris, London, Rome, Hollywood etc. are the centres of fashion in the world. Fashion shows are organized in big cities all over the world to popularise the new dresses and other fashionable wears.
The moment a fashion makes appearance in these big centres, it is publicised by the fashion magazines which are eagerly awaited by the fashion conscious people all over the world. It is generally said that fashion in Paris-the home of fashion -changes very fast. At times, it changes even before it had been introduced in other centres of the world.
Fashion can be used for anything, for dress, hair style, shoes, manners, etiquettes, in all spheres of life. Some persons may be crazy to wear fashionable clothes, others to keep fashionable hair style, or to keep an expensive library, while still others may adopt fashion in their speech and manner. In fashion nothing is stable and eternal. Here everything changes fast like the law of Heraclitus, in which everything is in a flux.
Fashion moves in a circle and goes on changing like the round globe. Sometimes, past fashions are also repeated again after a long time with minor or no changes.
Sometimes, the lengthy dresses are invoked and at other times mini dresses become fashionable. Some¬times, gaudy and colourful dresses enter the world of fashion, while at other times, simple and sober dresses are considered to be fashionable. Still at other times,wearing uncouth hippie dresses are invoked and some¬times wearing an indifferent dress becomes the craze.
A few years back, keeping closely cut hair and wearing tight dresses' like drain pipe trousers was the
-fashion, whereas the latest fashion is to keep long flowing hair and wear bellbottom type loose trousers with high heel shoes. Of course, now again tight pants are making appearance.
Sometimes, what the famous actors and actresses wear becomes the fashion. Pop music, pop art and hippie-cut clothes have also been fashions for a long time. Now-a-days, youngmen and women especially students have become highly fashion-conscious. All this has increased the importance of the fashion writer.
A fashion reporter should be always on the look out
for spontaneous fashion.
Such fashions are self generating and spread like wild fire. A fashion writer, of course, should be in touch with tbe, fashion designers. He should visit the fashionable shops and attend the fashion shows. He should also visit the college and university campuses, coffee houses and restaurants for collecting new ideas about the prevalent and future fashions.
Now-a-days, the masses, especially the young boys and girls, create their own fashion. It is the job of the fashion writer to observe them and write about their ideas of fashion.
Certain stores also use the media for advertising their fashionable wears. In this way, sometimes, fashion advertising and fasbion articles are linked up for the pro¬motion of certain fashions. Of course, a fashion reporter
is not to be influenced by businessmen in his comments, but he has to keep contact with the stores selling the latest fashionable dresses and other goods.
