Are you a fashion slave, spending all your money on the latest clothes even if you don't look good in them, or a fashion fan, enjoying wearing modern clothes but not obsessed by them?
Every year London fashion week attracts retailers, fashion leaders... Oryginall desings and fabrics, and beautiful models are displayed on the catwalk in an atmosphere of glamour and elegance. However, is this translated into street fashion? How many of us actually follow the trends we see?
All of us need to be comfotable with what we wear, after all, first impressions count a lot in our society. Every day we are bombarded with magazines that show us the new fashions for each season, and they show shops where we can buy trendy clothes for reasonable prices. But, are these clothes similar to the clothes from the catwalk? The difference betwwen what we see on the catlwalk and what's people wearing in street is becoming increasingly blurred.
Lisa Armstrong, fashion writer for The Times newspaper, has questioned the motives of some designers, suggesting they seem out to get women, or at least make them look foolish.
Are fashion shows a cynical ploy to get the media in a froth or a valuable marketing tool for an important industry? Are fashion world misogyny?
VOCABULARY
retailers : people who sell things
blurred: if the distinction between two things gets blurred, it becomes harder to tell the difference between them
out to get women: made them harm, for instance by embarrasing them
cynical ploy: a self serving way of getting an advantage over someone
in a froth: talking excitedly but saying nothing serious
marketing tool: a way of promoting something
MY OWN OPINION
I completly agree that fashion can be mysogyny, every day they show in magazines, tv, advertismens... pretty girls, they are perfect but are they real? all we know that some of them are a product of a pc programme, so.. a lot of girls are worried about their bodies because an unreal thing, is that fair?
