WHAT FASHION MEANS TO ME? I think what I love most about fashion is that there isn’t just one strict meaning for everyone. Fashion is fluid and that’s what makes it so special. Fashion to me is my identity. It’s how I want the world to look at me. It’s putting on black ripped jeans one day and shifting to a dress the next because they both represent who I am. Fashion, like me, has the ability to change. It has the ability to start clean and fresh with simple fluctuations of mood. Fashion is an opportunity for anything to happen and anything to change. It is timeless and never-ending. Fashion to me is a way in which I can express myself through my emotions and interests. Similar to a painter, I can use fashion as the blank canvas that the artist would begin with. Fashion represents freedom. It gives me the ability to move freely without consequence, moving from one outfit to the next. Fashion is constantly evolving, while style lasts forever.
