live with style

Fashion is the product of society because people are born to appreciate beauty, and with a heart of competition and eagerness to live a stylish happy life. Channel, Gucci, and Luis Vuitton do not only represent a form of beauty in clothing, accessories, and shoes, they also represent the life style and the spirit of the brand names. Also, successful people want to be different than others and they seek and receive the life style they most agree with. Thus, brands plus admirable people becomes the leading trend and life style in society. People grow up in hopes to become successful, to live a life of pretty, happy, and fashion; people grow up in competitive society to be better than others, to be more distinct from others. The relationship between fashion and society is closely tied together that fashion improves the progress of society, and the progress of society innovates fashion.
Fashion also reflects the root of the society; the ideas and values of the society. In Sex and the City, Carrie has a wedding dress shooting for Vogue, and Carrie changes several beautiful dresses by famous designers. Each dress is different in fashion and serves as a mirror of different fantasies or dreams from every corner of the society. One friend of Carrie says that “right dress” is an important element of a happy marriage. This friend reflects the psychology of the society that choosing the right fashion is as important as choosing spouses. And Carrie herself also believes that with Vivien Westwood dress, the marriage with Big would be blessed. Sadly, fashion does not have such power to promise a lovely ever fairy tale. What fashion does is to fill the wishes by manifestation of images; but fashion does not represent the essence or nature of things.
In short, fashion is the product of society, the engine of progress and the source of innovation. Every era, people add new elements to clothing, and every decade people live to their adored life style with fashion. Fashion influences people’s idea, and thus form the common sense of society. The images of Channel represent the sum of ideas of people who recognizes the value. However, fashion is just an image itself, too. Carrie’s faulty impression of a perfect wedding dress is the best example to distinguish fashion from essence of things. However, those who start fashion also made up the society; thus, society and fashion are closely related to each other.
