“While the fashion industry may, at least at the top end, be thriving, the notion of fashion itself is becoming more and more meaningless. Any discipline in fashion has long since evaporated; the idea of a single fashionable skirt length, or heel height, is incomprehensible. The definition of the fashionable has become so skimpy that it refers not to the mode of dress of everyday people--the clothes that have sufficiently caught the popular imagination to be worn in a widespread manner--but only to the styles that momentarily excite members of the fashion caravan.” PeopleMayLongIdeasEndsImaginationFashionStyleIndustryBecomingDisciplineMembersClothesDressesNotionEverydayCaughtDefinitionsHeightLengthMeaninglessHeelsWornFashionableSkirtsBecoming MoreFashion IndustryCaravans Author:Rebecca Mead
“Human beings are many-layered creatures, and do not succumb to the hegemony of others as easily as historians and politicians sometimes imply. Those Welsh, Scottish and Anglo-Irish individuals who became part of the British Establishment in this period did not in the main sell out in the sense of becoming Anglicised look-alikes. Instead, they became British in a new and intensely profitable fashion, while remaining in their own minds and behavior Welsh, or Scottish, or Irish aswell.” MindHumansLooksSometimesIndividualHuman BeingsFashionBecomingPeriodsPoliticianCreaturesBehaviorSellsBritishHistorianEstablishmentProfitableScottishBritish HistoryHegemonyWelsh Author:Linda Colley

“I think we are becoming more and more linked, and before long, we'll all be one culture. It's happening in every field, not just fashion. Actually, I think the only hope for peace is if culture is homogenized. Unfortunately, money seems to be the only solution to political disagreements.

“Becoming people of integrity and honesty does not occur quickly or all at once, nor is it merely a matter of greater personal discipline. It is a change of disposition, a change of heart.

“I feel like fashion is becoming more inclusive, partly because the industry is finally getting that beauty exists in so many ways, and partly because thanks to Instagram, girls can create their own images, or remix images they're seeing in magazines and fashion shows, in ways that weren't possible before.” WayFeelsShowsGirlSeeingFashionIndustryBecomingMagazinesThanksInstagramBecoming MoreFashion ShowRemix Author:Petra Collins
“Becoming a fashion designer is agreeing with the fact that what you experience or what you see as free is also connected to a system. Does that mean giving up your freedom?
