What do clothes mean to us?
Does fashion always mean "cool"?
Why does it sometimes seem so ridiculous?
e.g., an outdated fashion, a fashion from another culture
The meaning of fashion depends on its context.
e.g., historical backdrop, cultural background, situation,
occasion, etc.
The values for a fashion are related to the issue of self-identity,
so they vary subjectively.
e.g., generation, gender, social class, etc. |
