If you love fashion, you’ll understand why the world celebrates Fashion Week like it’s Christmas. You will understand why they trip over their own feet trying to get a front row seat and watching the supermodels walking the runway in the latest seasons collections of various world renowned fashion designers. Fashion trends are something fashion lovers cannot live without. It’s your lifeline for what’s hip, cool, fresh, and fierce.

Fashion tells us a lot about a person, the way they dress, the way they combine their outfits indicates the type of person they are on a day-to-day basis. Even people who profess not to care about how they look tell a story about who they really are or what they are striving to be. You can’t say they don’t care about fashion but don’t see themselves a certain way, either to their detriment or to their success.

Fashion is not just about wearing clothes that protect us from the elements. Fashion trends tell us what to wear when we’re down and when we’re high up in the clouds. Fashion trends inspire chemistry and can be the beginning of a very beautiful love story, as well as the end of one.

If the only permanent thing in the world is change, then this certainly manifests itself in the world of fashion where change happens as fast as the blink of an eye. It can be quite challenging and confusing to follow fashion trends, but following them is what people do and do well in most cases. A good example would be the so-called fashion icons who can create outfits from the most casual to the most glamorous on any day of the week or at any time of the day. They may be having a bad day, but you wouldn’t know it by their perfectly matched outfits and the smiles they flash at the paparazzi. Paris Hilton could have dumped her latest guy in the morning as she wore jeans and a designer top and went out later that night in a silver dress.

But who exactly starts these fashion trends and why do people follow them? Musicians like rock stars, athletes, actors and actresses, and even political figures have been credited for starting fashion trends. When someone influential decides they want to tell the world that being emo is cool, they hope that the rest of the world will embrace the emo trend and see the world with one eye. The people who follow fashion trends are what categorizes us as individuals or groups, what makes us stand out or what defines us before the rest of society. Fashion trends are luxurious that make us look like the rest of the world.

Another reason why people follow fashion trends is because they want to participate in a never-ending popularity contest. Trends in haute couture or “couture” are always carefully scrutinized and if found wanting, you can be sure you’ll see them everywhere – on the runways, on TV shows, in the movies, and even on your neighbor! from next door Trends may have price tags that can feed an entire third world country, but people would just go ahead and get the look. It all comes down to the fact that we all want to be wanted and loved, and this is one surefire way to achieve it.
