    How fashion affects people's lives

    Now a days fashion is one of the most important thing in people's life, even for a job interview, and that how fashion affects in a good way people's life, because, let's face it, you'll have to show a good image at work. But when you go out with your friends you can dress as you want, because fashion is what you are. So believe me when I say that everybody, I mean everybody, cares about fashion. But as most of the people believe, you don't have to do some things just because it's on fashion, on that way you are letting fashion affect your life in a bad way, you'll have to do what you think is good for yourself, and by doing that you'll have a sucessful life.

    Fashion affects people in a lot of ways, it is very important to look good nowadays.It might help you to get a job, it might help you to find a love partner (boyfriend or girlfriend).
    The way you dress says a lot of things about you: the kind of people that hang out with you, sometimes it says whats your job, sometimes it says how much do you have, but mainly says who you are or who do you want to be.
    Some superficial people think that you are what you dress, that judge you for what you wear, that can be expressed for the famous proverb ''Don´t' judge the book for the cover''.
    Fashion has always existed and forever will exist, as restricted as it can be is very important because not only dictates are social conditions it also dictates who we are.For those that do not agree with me look at this example: Two men are going to participate at a job interview, both have the same qualifications, same notes, same everithing.One of them is well dressed, but the other is not.Who do you think that is going to get the job?

    Nowadays, the fashion industry has enchanted most of the world. You can even hear people say that what you wear defines who you are. Leaving this extreme concept behind, it's a fact that beauty is desired by all of us! And it's undeniable that it can be expressed through fashion! What we dress, what we use, even how we speak count these days. The only thing that can't be ignored is the personal style, of course. They're all part of the fashion world that allures us. Who dares ignore this glamorous world completely, get a serious chance of ending up with a few freaky friend! One thing can be said: Fashion is art. The art of mixing tendencies, attitude, texture, colors and curves. That's why it's so amazing!

    Fashion is a good issue to talk about. I am not obssessed by fashion things, but it represents an important business.

    Fashion is in everywhere. It is in the media, in our home and in the schools as well as. Tenagers sStudents really like clothes from fashion. Take a look for the tennis shoes. They are so expensive and everybody has one Asis, Nike or Mizzuno.

    The girls love trands like Colcci and Victoria Secrets. They buy a lot of clothes from them. No matter how expensive it is. The things is to be on fashion with something and to have clothes made of big trands. It is a kind of crazy life. Of course, it affects a lot of live around the world changing people in an object of massive consumption.

    In addittion, we can say that one thing is combinig with fashion clothes nowadays: The iphone. The cell phone of Apple seems to be a clothe too. Probabily 90% of girls use it.

    Despite the obssessives consumers, fashion is important to increase the employment in everywhere and affect our lives in a positive way.

    Yours sicerely,

    How fashion affects people's lives

    Fashion can affects people's lives in many ways. The most relevant way is how the television programes and others comunication ways use the fashion to make the mind of the people. People want to use, say and be just like is in the programes, they want to buy the things thats is used by their favorite actors, and this, certainly, affects their lives.
    Other way that fashion affects can happend when a person want to be part of the society, and start to do everything that all people do.

    So, definitely, fashion can affects people's lives in many other ways. Don't metter how many times or how fast the fashion tendence changes, but always there will people changing their lives because of that.

    It is impossible a person say that don't care about fashion world. This is impossible because all that involves this area follows the tendecy. For example, if go a popular store, you can see that the clothes there will remember the clothes and colors that were presented by someone important in the fashion world.
    Nowadays, the fashion industry is bigger than in the past and it involves many profetionals and employee a lot of people. So even you don't like it, you can work with it.
    It is possible you don't read about it and don't have many interesting, but not igonore this world. Maybe, the fashion events, magazines or tendencies will not affect directly your life, but everywhere you go and everybody you talk to will express some opinion concerning what is fashionable or unfashionable, including you. So, the fashion world can't affect your life, but certainly it makes part of.

    in our world of money and power we need to be always studying and unfortunately to be in touch with the fashion world, because our cuture are very biased, if you dont use smarts clothes to go to a work interview or be really ugly or really beautifull, you certanelly will have a problem, because we don't look just for the certificates, but look how you dreesed well and if you are ugly or beautifull. So in this times we need to be nice for the world's eye because the world and our cuture demands this. We can say with 100% of sure that fashion can change people's life because in most of the time the person need to change his way to live or dress, need to take more care of apeerence, clothes, have a nice car and house, good kids and a good relationship. to make part of the world you need to be nice for they eye.

    I am someone who didn't pay much attention in fashion. I am not a stylish guy!
    But, we are in the century of changes.
    (By the way, I wrote a article about it some minutes ago... ) And I changed!

    My girlfriend forced me to go with her at the last Brasilia Fashion Week. And the worse thing is that I enjoyed it.

    Since that day I started to buy some fashion clouthes. They are so expensive!! But I felt that since I started to took more carefull with my appearence, the people started to pay more attention on me.

    I had a exponencial growing in the number of pacients in my consultory. Many of them are more interesting in my clothes than my certificates.

    I think that the reason of it is because fashion people pass the image that they have much sucess in his personal and profissional lives. Someone who don't take this care is associated with a looser.

    There is a famous expression in Brazil that can resums everything that I said: "The appearence is everything!"

    So, if you are not a fashionable person, think about it!

    Since world is world, fashion has affected peoples's lives by telling them how to dress, how to get your hair done, how to walk, but now a days, fashion is not only about clothes and women. That's about cars, houses and even men have started to worry about how they look like. Now, everybody pays attention to the tendences to follow the pattern of beauty required by the midia, like being skinny, tall and blond. But, not everybody fits in that profile and many women started having health issues like low self-steam and in a more radical way, they started developing anorexia and bulimia.
    Dresses, skirts, high heeled shoes, tuxedos and beyond are now the biggest people's worry. They don't care about health anymore, it's everything about beauty. And it's about the social acception too, since people first looks at the appearance. Despite all the futility, what people have to have in mind is that being good to yourself is what really matters to be fashion, since people will see you beautiful if you see yourself beautiful.

    Dear editors,
    Even if you don't bear the fashion news, your life is constantly being affected by the fashion world, weather you like or not.
    Besides the great deal of resources among the fashing market, what acctually affects everyone indirectally, any piece of clothes that you buy are, in any aspect, the result of lots of hours spends in developing tecnics to pleased the consummers.
    At least, most people like to see or discuss about the news in the fashion world. Women much more. As men are fans of soccer and bier, women are increadible attached to fashion news. Anyway, men obvious like to admire theirs wives looking good and, sometimes, showing off.
    However, it's always great to present friends and family with fashionable gifts, what surely is better than a oldfashion one.

    Fashion Affects people's lives because we are the buyers of the expensive shoes and clothes that make money to the clothes store at the shopping malls.I don't look fashionable to some people because sometimes I have to comb my hair,shave the beard and brush my teeth.Fashion could be good to us if people stop to kill animals in name of the fur coat.A good example of this is a movie called 101 Dalmatians by the Disney Studios that make everybody think about fashion as good thing or bad thing to the animals.If people start to think if the future is good to the animals I would say will be bad.Many of the animals in future will be instincted in the next few years.It's a good opportunity to see the friendly animals now like a parrot,a dog,a cat,a horse and other domestical animals.Well I think the only good thing about fashion is that appear in everywhere like radio,newspaper,TV or Television,magazines and some movies of Hollywood and even in Oscar event per year.Fashion is good if you cover well your body with pretty clothes.However if you don't wear the clothes people think culturally that you are an indian or native american.As I conclude fashion could be good to people's lives if this business is well managed by good people who have sense of preservation of the world like the animals and forests.And to make the world better think ecologically right.Good issues to the magazine.
