Is “Age-appropriate” a word omitted by the fashion dictionary?


Billion dollar fashion industry plays a prominent role in today’s society. We are in an era where dressing up could affect your profession and life changing decisions. Clothing is more of a want than it used to be a need years ago. The personal taste of fashion starts to develop in the process of growing up. Once we start school we form into groups of friends who have similar likes and interests. Some may prefer punk, gothic or could go for a more classy elegant look. Each individual has a different taste. Everyone prefers to be in the limelight of the society where your outer appearance is to be first noticed. Youth is considered to be the best period of life so does massively in fashion. However, is there an age that children will know they have transformed to their youth or does the transformation differs from each other? Growth could be affected due to several reasons. Children get easy access to multimedia today and accessibility been open for everyone has a massive impact on growth. It is difficult to identify when children turn to be adults. Fashion could fake your age and speed up your growth. It was interesting to talk to three young girls who had very different views of their lifestyles,peer groups and fashion trends. Twenty year old Shra thinks fashion plays a major part in her college life but she follows her own styles regardless of her classmates opinion. Shra showed a very mature personality in comparison to my other interviewees of similar age. Layla and minji were worried about being labelled not cool and hated shopping in primark. Bullying, early sexualization are common issues among youngsters which i personally feel fashion industry should be responsible for an extend. Moreover the industry tries everyone to make them feel younger and to keep the youth long

lasting.Model Karlie Kloss at the age of nineteen stated in an interview “I wish I’d have been a little more mature, a little older” when she started her career at a very tender age of fifteen.She considers modelling not as a profession which i feel it expresses her maturity in the industry and her understanding of modelling as a short lived career for most of the models. Growing old would limit your wardrobe from favourite pieces which were worn in a music festival or in an exotic beach in your 20s. Fashion trends, buying patterns changes due to various factors in different stages of life. Its shocking that most designer’s target markets are young girls. Tall petite models own the runaways and would not want to share it. The asian photographer Qozop depicts a challenge to age stereotypes by elders swapping clothes with their youths in his new “Spring-Autumn” series. You could be sixty and still fit perfect for a swim suit or some may struggle choosing the right outfit. 67 year old designer Diane Von Furstenberg admits going topless have a cut-off age although she never sees age as a barrier to be fashionable. Fashion needs to be addressed to the world as sensible and age-appropriate. Each of us are responsible for our own dressing up although various factors growing up could effect sense of style and fashion. The freedom is ours to choose or to avoid. Communication among people will lead to know the real personalities and talents than judging people from what they are dressed up with. And not to forget a friendly smile is always inviting. Fashion could be forcing children to their youth and adults to remain in their youths, but its important understanding your fashion sense rather than been forced from society on what you wear.
