Different aspects of fashion

Abstract

Fashion and clothing are not nearly identical phenomena. But clothing represents the most significant area, through which fashion actually appears. Considering that, the suit represents the external self-shaping of man, so that suit is an expression of that's how that person would like it to look. More specifically, the suit in a way, is an expression of human self-knowledge and his understanding of himself. Therefore, this includes the space in which that fashion is quite pronounced. The clothes themselves are simple, short-lived and fleeting, in fact as fashion itself is. The main characteristic of fashion is that, it can suddenly impose and accept a certain new rule or norm, i.e. to impose and accept something that in the past was only an exception or a certain character thread. This is what fashion does, to be able later in time, to leave that exception or that unique characteristic thread that it had, because over time that uniqueness has become something that is ordinary and everyday, or has become something that everyone can afford. The first major explanation of fashion, relates fashion to a modern society with a system of open layers, where the elite tends to stand out and rise above the rest of the people, thereby launching exclusive ways and behavior patterns. In order to symbolically equate with them, members of the the lower layers accept that style as a rule of their own behavior.
