Just Fad


Just Fad…
By Rachita Malik


In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different
-          Coco Chanel

Fashion is always changing. As a society, we are hierarchical. Those on the top will always adopt a novelty as a symbol of their high status and soon on the second rung imitate. Eventually it becomes a mass phenomenon and the former seeks a new representation.

Many would agree that a good part of our wardrobe would never see the daylight again. And then we cringe, how we just wore it once because it was a trend. Change in fashion is instant. It is always uncertain whether a new idea would be a fad or a lasting statement.

Dressing is a way of life; fashion should not govern our lives. As Yves Saint Laurent would say, “the most important thing in a dress is the woman who wears it”. The trick is, to be trendy you should know yourself.

Be Fashionable – Be You
