these words,amongmany more,arethe soul purpose why
fashion has such a huge impact on many lives,including
my own.
For me fashion is about everything we do in our daily life
to update ourselfwith the society and the modern world.
Fashion is the language through which we communicate
our style our make up,bodylanguage.
Fashion means to me so much more than making money
off a collection,orbeing on the cover vouge,butit means
the experimentation to find how you truly want to
express yourself and how confident you feel once you find
the perfect combination of clothing.

Fashion is over quickly ,whereas style is forever.
APPAREL AND GARMENTS
COSTUME-It is the distinctive style of dress of an individual or
group that reflects their class, gender, profession,
ethnicity, nationality or activity or epoch.
Costume can tell audiences where and when something is
taking place, who your character is, what's going on in a
scene, and what is going on in the story. Costumes give your
characters their persona and your story visual depth, so it's not
enough to have your actors wear the clothes they came to set
with.

23. The defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown
by the ideas and beliefs of the time.
ZEITGEIST
To define the 2020 zeitgeist, we can use three words: ��????????????������������??????????????????��,
�??????�����??????��, ������??????�. These words might not immediately make you think of
fashion, but yet they are what is on many people’s mind, which forces fashion
world to yet again adapt and respond.

24. Stella McCartney's climate credentials bang on trend in Paris
wo decades after the designer launched her brand, the
climate crisis isforcing the fashion industry to accept the
principles of sustainabilityand respect for the environment
that are central to her beliefs, and McCartney finds herself
promoted from fashion’s fringes to a leadership role.
Environmental activism changes the agenda
If 1960s changed the world by bringing fast
fashion, 2020s are going in reverse by
popularisingthe slow fashion movement. Ever
since the documentary “The True Cost” came
out in 2015, it has been out in the open: fashion
industry is not sustainable. Then 2019 brought
us climate change protests with Generation Z
becoming a new force expressing their opinions.
Now there is no way back from having
sustainability on the agenda and fashion
industry is quickly filling up with new eco-
conscious buzz words, like “recycling”,
“upcycling”, “carbon footprint”, “resale”, “ethical
fashion”, and many more.

25. New kind of liberation
Millennials and Generation Z are now getting more and more power in the consumer
space, and they are not there not joke around. They are the representatives of a new
multi passionate workforce that is often self-employed. This often gives them higher
than average disposable income and allows to dictate their own rules. Freedom from
the outdated social constructs, strong opinions and readiness to invest more in the
brands that they believe in and that have a clear mission are what defines them. And
this overarching feeling of freedom is what determines their style choices too.

26. Pandemic
The definition of 2020 zeitgeist would not be
complete without mentioning the pandemic.
Millions of people have been forced to stay
home and adjust to a new norm. Many had to
start shopping online more, spend more time in
tracksuits and homewear, creating a stronger
need for clothes to be more comfortable and
wearable than ever. The former symbol of air
pollution —face masks —have become our
new must-have. And we all have been forced to
pause. Reflect. Re-evaluate.

49. Identity is one of the most compelling and
contentious concepts in the humanities and
social sciences. Fashion becomes inextricably
implicated in constructions and
reconstructions of identity: how we represent
the contradictions and ourselves in our
everyday lives. Through appearance style
(personal interpretations of, and resistances to,
fashion), individuals announce who they are
and who they hope to become. Moreover, they
express who they do not want to be or
become (Freitas et al., 1997). Appearance style
is a metaphor for identity; it is a complex
metaphor that includes physical features (for
example, skin, bodily shape, hair texture) as
well as clothing and grooming practices.
Because the latter are especially susceptible to
change, they are prone to fluctuating and fluid
ways of understanding oneself in relation to
others within the larger context of fashion
change.
Appearance style visually articulates multiple and overlapping identities
such as gender, race, ethnicity, social class, sexuality, age, national
identity, and personal interests, aesthetic, and politics.

50. Appearance style visually
articulates multiple and
overlapping identities such as
gender, race, ethnicity, social
class, sexuality, age, national
identity, and personal interests,
aesthetic, and politics.
Overlapping Identity

51. How does fashion affect
your identity?
Fashion shapes identity in a multitude of
different ways; from the colors we pick,
to the stores we frequent, who we are is
ingrained in our style. Anything we wear,
from hair dye to tattoos, is apart of our
style. Our individual personalities
influence whether we want to dye our
hair or get a new piercing.

52. As a form of self-expression, fashion can make us
feel empowered and more in touch with our
inner self. We can feel more confident if the
clothes we are wearing and the way we present
ourselves matches up with our personality,
identify and mood.
Fashion as self-expression

53. Fashion Culture and
Identity
As a cultural process,fashionis
responsible for locating individuals
within a constantly changing forest
of objects,people,events,stylesand
practices to which they relate
,about which they form opinions
and which symbolically help to
locate them within various social
starataand communities.

54. Gender
expression
Gender expression, or gender
presentation, is a person's
behavior, mannerisms,
interests, and appearance that
are associated with gender in a
particular cultural context,
specifically with the categories
of femininity or masculinity.
This also includes gender roles.
These categories rely on
stereotypes about gender.

55. Gender and clothing
Such expressions of difference in gender roles and fashionable
appearances of men and women also occur in other historical
periods. Within medieval culture, the display of masculinity and
femininity varied according to class, age, wealth, and nationality.
Clothing, fashionably cut, moved toward overt display of the body
and its sexual characteristics (Breward, p. 32). Interpretations of a
male and female ideal permeated visual and literary
interpretations of the human body.
The male ideal focused upon proportion, strength, nobility, and
grace; the female ideal included diminutive size, delicacy, and
heightened color.

56. Express your gender the way you
want
How does fashion express
gender?
Fashion is the most obvious
way in which
we express our gender
identity but is not by any
means
the only way. ... Fashion can
allow space for rebellion
from social norms, and space
for experimentation,
something that anyone,
regardless of their gender,
should be open to pursuing.

57. GENDER FLUIDITY
AND FASHION
Gender fluidity is the ability to freely
and knowingly become one
or many of a limitless number of
genders, for any length of time, at
any rate of change. Gender fluidity
recognizes no borders or rules
of gender.
Gender-fluid fashion refers to breaking
gender barriers and
creating clothing that is inclusive of all
genders such as
male, female, queer, transgender and
more.

58. Androgynous fashion is a style that
aims to avoid gender stereotypes.
The androgynous, dress or style
themselves to look like neither a
typical boy, nor a conventional girl.

The 2016 Gucci Catwalk presented a colorful collection of suits
made with floral prints, loose silk, embellishments, bows, and
what not! The genderfluidity of the collection proves how
progressive Gucci is, as a high-end brand.

62. ROLE OF COLOR
Color is the most well-known stereotype in clothing by gender. When the
socialization of gender happens through clothing, colors become the
catalyst in the process of gendering.
➢This has changed over the years as designers have now incorporated vivid
colors in male clothing, which had not been seen much after the
Renaissance and Rococo times.
➢The deconstruction of colored gender stereotypes has been pushed
forward by brands like Gucci. Gucci questioned not just the barriers of
color but also broke the shackles of forms.
Color is a cue that effects how people interact with a child. The response of
others to gender-specific colors of attire encourage what is socially designated as
gender-appropriate behavior by that child (Stone 1962). Stone observed that
dressing a newborn in either blue or pink in America begins a series of interactions.

Red —Nature. Your childhood
innocence meant for exploration. It’s
also the beginnings of structure and
expectations, being forced to have
limits.
Orange —Nurture. Society and all of its
rules and judgments are thrust in your
face. It’s the time to conform or face the
consequences of being yourself.

65. Yellow —Love. Finding yourself,
embracing yourself, accepting
yourself.
Green —Community. Along the way
of loving yourself, you find people
that love you as well, where you’re
safe. But unfortunately, the LGBTQ+
community knows that safe spaces
are few and far between, and the
video takes a familiar dark turn.

66. Blue —Hate. The striking reminder
that you have a very real reason to
fear. People want to destroy you,
from an absolute stranger to the
ones you thought loved you the
most.
Purple —Pride. It’s looking hate and fear in the eye and
moving past it. Hold your head high, put your shoulders
back, and soldier on.

increasing interweaving of fetish iconography
(harnesses, bondage
gear,latex/leather/rubber,corsets, “cruel

the expression of sexuality—both sexual
behavior (including erotic attraction) and
gender identity.”
