This thread idea came through a discussion on another thread!
During the last months I have noticed (at least in Europe) a certain obsession with fashion by everyone, even people who never bothered about it before...
Everybody seems to be opening enterprises selling clothes, accessories, making accessories for sale, selling vintage items and following fashion trends with devotion.
For example, only last year, nobody was aware of the boots over jeans trend, and this year, not only it has become a stable in everyone's appearance, they have also caught up with the rest of the trends... skinny jeans, ballet flats etc. Also, more people seem to be aware of lesser known designer names other than the usual (Versace, Gucci, Dior).
Is it because of the fascination of the celebrities with fashion? Is it because of the high street (meaning that it is anavoidable for trends to be caught up by everyone since the high street options offered are all the same)?
What do you think and does the same apply in your part of the world?
