Fashion can change and create moods wherever you are in the world. Fashion can enhance and modify emotions in each and everyone of us. Fashion is a way for you to express and explore your personality to another level, not having to follow any guid lines but your own.
Throughout my education all over the world, i have become particularly interested in the direct correlation between fashion and society, I feel fashion is an amazing way in which people can express their personality and body language by choosing what they wear, what the put on for the world to see each and everyday, and how this present themselves.
Growing up throughout the world in four different countries during the earlier 2000’s I was able to experience multiple trends and cultures for example; being from New Zealand and being born and growing up in the late 90’s early 2000’s, people didn’t care so much what others thought about what they wore and how well they could piece clothing together, still till this day people have that perception about fashions and themselves, although the fashion trends have moved on and most of the people have also, there is still those who have the ‘stuff it’, “i woke up like this” attitude towards fashion.
Moving to Fiji at the age of 9 this was a completely different atmosphere, not only with fashion but society also. Fashion really non-existent over there, people didn’t have any trends to follow or people to look up to. People would just wear what they had and what was comfortable, mainly to complement their hot climate and care free lifestyle.
Then finally moving to the Wales in the UK when i was 11. This was like moving to a different planet. people were more vibrant and exspesive with there fashion and how they presented themselves. There was a variety of trends and fashion influencers for people to follow.
“Style is the only thing you can’t buy. It’s not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It’s something reflected from our soul to the outside world—an emotion.”—Alber Elbaz
