What makes people, often contrary to common sense, do one thing and not do another? What is the mechanism for introducing various trends into society through fashion? Who runs fashion and what are the goals of a consumer society, which we will analyze in this article.
What is fashion?
If you look world, you can see that lot of people, to varying degrees, try to follow the current fashion trends. From the sociological studies, one can find out that more than a third of the population of Russia is interested in and tries to follow fashion. Sociologists have determined that about 39% of Russians are interested in fashion trends. Of these, 18% say they dress according to the latest fashion trends. Fashion supporters are mainly women and young people, but among them, there are also men and representatives of the older generation. According to fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev, Russians follow fashion more than another world. “In France, no more than 7% of the population follow fashion, which means that fashion in Russia is in great demand,” Vasiliev said. The issue arises, what is "Fashion", after which a big part of the population of our planet is chasing and ready to do much for it? Fashion is a set of tastes and attitudes that dominate in a certain social environment in a certain, usually short time. Fashion is a short-term dominance of a certain taste in any area of life. In short words, it is a change in forms and patterns of clothing. Fashion is fragile, with fast-passing popularity.

Fashion is a path to the sustainable dissemination corner in society. Fashion is in the style of dress, lifestyle, performing, styles of arts, fiction, architecture, gastronomy, and so on, which are popular in a given culture and at a certain period of time. An essential characteristic of fashion is the desire to follow the new. The principle of novelty and fashionableness depends not so much on the objective time of the creation of the object, as on the moment of its entry into the system of selected values and glorification, recognition in the society.
A bit of history
The history of fashion is rooted in tradition. The convention is also a certain array of evidence, like fashion, only there is no section of novelty in it. People at all times wore clothes of certain styles, colors, decorated with patterns, which both in the past and today have expressed and express their cultural and subcultural affiliation. Earlier, people danced old-fashioned dances, achieved traditional services of meetings, leave-takings, interments, marriages, etc. The first symbols of fashion arisen as a means of allocating into layers of society. The disconnected part of society, which classified itself among the "high society" could fiscally afford some excesses. Therefore, to separate themselves from the rest of the "crowd", they wore dissimilar clothes, had different protocols, and so on. Thus, many outfits, protocols, manners, behaviors, some services (tea drinking, theater visits, garlands, etc.) came into fashion, which not only divided the “elite” from the gathering but also stratified it into even slighter sub-layers. The prime of fashion was in the internal Ages. The Supporters brought information from the Levant to Western Europe about the superb fabrics and silk there. In North Europe, silk was introduced and was measured as a great luxury. Well-off people could afford brocade from Italy and other expensive items.
With the arrival of appliance production, cheap clothing became open to the common public. At the same time, fashion performed in the style of clothing, as a universal wonder, this happened in France in the 17th century. Throughout history, changed countries have been the source of innovative clothing trends. At the minute, the most "fashionable" city is Paris, but previous the fashion was agreed by Italy, Spain, England.
Let us recall that fashion is info, and the rapidity of its movement has always nonstop been contingent on the usual skills of its time. With the development of trade, the creation of cultures took place, and through people who motivated and came into interaction with each other, the proof exchange also improved. And with the growth of information types of machinery, we all jumped into the information array of a universal ruler, the speed of information movement has increased, the ability to affect the mass figures of human performance through fashion has increased marvelous power.
Influence of fashion on thoughts
If you look at a person as a symbol of the classes “Homo sapiens”, then you can see the attendance of systems of herd-flocking performance in the spirit. And, from this point of opinion, you can reflect on the root reasons why people respond to fashion. For existence in a flock/herd, two main forms of presentation can be well-known:
it is each to stand out and become a lead,
or become like everyone different, not agreeing with you to be classified among the outsiders. Fashion allows you to do equally at the informational level. Later the wish of a certain share of society to directly join the "latest trends". This is especially clear in the agents of the "stars" of show business, many media persons. Thus, they try to combine their position as leaders, followed by a mechanical crowd.
Another part of the citizens does not directly involve in the process of informing their style by next the fashion, but later, when most of those about them have converted following the new styles, they also follow them, because none of them needs to be a “black sheep”.
Unluckily, many are trying to state themselves not with the help of their attention, movements, good actions, but use external qualities for this: clothes, styles, signals, piercings, and the like.
In other words, all these external attributes, if they stand at the forefront, in essence, are nothing more than an attempt to fill the inner emptiness and dissatisfaction of a person with himself.
