This is pretty easy to find trending fashion and how to keep up with it. You can go to fashion events and fashion weeks to get updated at the recent trends where in these places you can see it and notice the collection promoted on runways. Also, you can get attached to fashion magazines and channels where you can find the last updates and the upcoming events where you can find more information about what’s trending at a particular time. Following the best designers can also assist since they use a lot the social medias to share their next outcomes.
Social media as was said can very help to explore trends because this is a good platform to share information and show anything. There are some celebrities who also use it a lot or managing a website to update anything about their fashion. A lot of people tend to confuse between two similar terms and its fashion and style. Fashion is usually a wide term while style is part of its definition. Fashion sometimes embraces new modes. Fashion nowadays stands for people opinions and beliefs and get a lot of ways to express that. If we think about it, it has been always stood for it.
There is a saying that tells that what you wear is who you are thought. It is kind of true if we take for consideration that there is usually one time to make a good impression and when you around places not for often this is where you are seen for first time. Of course, when you come to a place regularly such as your workplace or certain place you tend to arrive, those who know you can expect to what you may wear because they already know you and your style. But don’t worry, because if you want to change your style sometime, your surrounding will get used to it. Maybe you will have initials reactions for that but also they will get used to it too.
There is a bold cycle in fashion. That means when a design or product become popular and after a meanwhile it phases out. It makes sense and you can call it a trend, style, or a changing mode. It’s logical it would happen since there is a massive change in fashion and style always and more often. Our style bolds how we see ourselves and what we think about ourselves. It makes fashion powerful due to we always focus on defining our personality and style throughout time tend to work on being the best version of ourselves all the time.
Another perspective which a lot of people are not aware to, is that fashion really matters. Our looks can change our behavior, self-confidence and personality. If we look good we feel good, and when we feel good we can do everything and in a good mood. Fashion is changing but also the people do, so when we get to wear something and feel and look good we can do anything but when we change our style probably we would also change our behavior and moods.
The idea of fashion
The language of fashion thus creates communication based on the identification of signifiers only; It is not possible to indicate an immanent relationship between signifiers and necessary signifiers (cf.sign). The signifiers, who are the fashion icons, radiate prominence and imperativeness. Their role is to indicate the things that are in orout, to provide “orientation” in the field of predominant taste, to give the “fashion law” the status offact. Livingin the shadow of artificial languages, which have broken away from pretensions of representation, positions fashion as anarcissistic postmodern language converted first and foremost to itself.
Fashion can therefore be viewed as a field in which symbolic transformation or “social alchemy” occurs through the signature (griffe) of the designer or taste leader. This action is enough to allow the symbolic conversion of the exchange value of the goods, without changing its physical quality (the useful value of the goods). The merchandise then becomesan icon: Jeans become “forever fashionable” because cloth idols like Marlon Brando or James Dean wore them in their films. The fashionable goods take on a distinctly social and communicative role: The seal holders, the “signatories” of good taste, give the “Init” commodity its rotational and social character (i.e.,coolness).
Fashion in an accelerated capitalist era sells excitement as a new commodity. But once the rare new becomes public knowledge, the next fashionable commodity appears. According to Bourdieu, the target audience of fashion is seen as the “proletariat of taste” The proletariat has been depleted of its revolutionary potential because it has long since become a mere consumer force. Capitalism, which produces the fantasy of the masses in relation to new tastes, also takes care of its supply, To replace it, to encourage more and more consumption. The conformity of the masses is governed by the mechanism of production at its “fashionable” center. This mechanism prevents consumers from directly experiencing the nature of things; Thepreoccupation with fashion and its symbolic roles has become a central area ofcontemporary cultural studies (Clark, 1994:Breward, 1995). These reveal the fact that many components of the way of seeing, in the lookwe have adapted to ourselves, depend on the visibility regime dictated by advertising and fashion. These define the “designed environment” of our lives. This highlights the social instability in which we find ourselves. Do we want the older or “younger” look? Do we want the “masculine”, “feminine”, queer look Do the clothes create drama or silence? Do they convey prestige or simplicity and modesty? These and similar questions place fashion at the center of the drama and conflicts of our lives and become an inseparable part of our personal and social bodies.
The fashion shows of the great designers appear to be large, bold operatic productions that depict radical possibilities of human existence.

In surreal art and fashion, the body appears as a site of desires and nightmares. The body breaks down, its parts do not cooperate with the whole. The body is a site of cross between organic and inorganic, between masculine and feminine, and so on
