A cultural statement – Fashion
Fashion can be a personal, national, or cultural statement. From minimal dressing to the sporty sweatpants and t-shirts of today, fashion is everywhere. Cultural and timely icons can be spotted with just one look if you are familiar. Some like to dress standard without any interesting looks. There are famous shirts, sweaters, and jackets worn by famous singers, actors, and celebrities in the past, and they go for expensive price tags on the market. Repetition and representation are important in fashion in order to make a statement and stay relevant. Some even trade their designs and transform a whole culture.
