Fashion styles

Fashion is defined as the prevailing style of living in terms of apparels, ornaments, dress and utilities. Today, Fashion is not just dictionary word. It is a shining beacon of elegance and grace. A hand bag or a mobile phone is no more just a utility. It is a status symbol, an iconography.

A Fad is a style which prevails temporarily. Fad and trend are interchangeably used though trend signifies a more or less permanent change. People would love to wear Black Aviator sun glasses as soon as James bond movies are released and girls would love to wear high heels if an actress does in a movie. Different Fads evolve every now and then, but Fashion is something that would permanently prevail. The garments one wears helps to identify his religion, culture or his attitude. Thus fashion has become synonymous with the overall growth of the country as well. Today, fashion has become a legitimate career for many young minds. We can find kids going to sewing classes instead of soccer practice and under graduates taking fashion as their main stream of education. India, which is a mosaic of cultures, itself represents many changing trends. People wear different varieties of turbans, kurtas and sarees .Different fad is defined for different festivals , parties and also on a regular day. Fashion is growing to be increasingly important to everyone and fads evolve every now and then. People quickly adopt to every changing trend and wait for the next change to come. But  they seldom remember that a dress is after all a utility.
