Fashion Sense

It’s what we do every morning, find something to wear. Believe it or not, each and every time we all dig through our closets we are inspired by the fashion world. There are many people out in society that do not think they are associated with the big designer names, simply because they do not wear them, but little do they know that inspiration for any style originates from the creations of that “big designer”. A prominent time and place to find these big time designers is New York Fashion Week, which has become a popular event. The fashion industry is no longer just buried inside your closet; it is becoming an everyday necessity for celebrities and the everyday citizen thanks to Fashion Week.
When I received the phone call from my friend begging me to take a week off from school and fly to New York for Fashion Weekhttp://www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork/fall2008/sponsors/index.html, I thought he was absurd. How can I take a whole week off from my everyday life, just to go to an event that, I thought, was strictly for models and designers? As days went by, I began seeing more daily entertainment news about which actress was attending the fashion shows or which singer was solely at fashion week for their favorite designer. The Bush twins have reportedly been seen out at the shows. Even people who are not celebrities, my friend for example, are going to the event. A lot has changed since 1993 when Fashion Week was first created by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Now, it is an event of who is there and for which designer.
Fashion is, without a doubt, making it a point to be noticed in our everyday lives with various media such as the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, to a whole television station devoted to style, the Style Networkhttp://www.mystyle.com/. Fashion is definitely making its permanent mark on society. Even the top fashion magazine, Vogue, no longer focuses on supermodels for their covers. Today, movie stars and singers, people society idolize, now grace the covers. Oddly enough, even phones are beginning to receive high fashion makeovers. Dolce & Gabbana now has a special edition Motorola Razr. Coco Channel also has a phone design of her own, which is highly recommended by musician, Kanye West.
With Fashion Week being held twice a year, once for the Fall lines, and a second time for Spring lines, allows society, as a whole, a chance to soak up some fashion sense. You can fly to New York, watch the updates on television, or even keep up with your favorite designers online. So the next time you step into your closet for a clothing item that might not have a designer label, you can still thank the fashion industry as a whole.
