Talking about fashion

If youre not a fashionista, maybe you dont have the highest range of vocabulary related to fashion. Thats why Im here to help you with that. And by the way, a fashionista is someone who works in or writes about the fashion industry. Here is a list of the 5 most influential fashionistas and the trend they made famous: (do you know any of them?)

• Grace Kelly: The Preppy Princess.

• Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: Chic Simple.

• Katharine Hepburn: The First Lady of Menswear.

• Lauren Bacall: Princess of Prints.

• Madonna: Costume Couture.

What they made famous, as I said before, was a trend. When it comes to fashion, a trend is a new development in clothing, make-up, etc...sometimes you dont even have to work in fashion., All you have to be is famous and influence people who admire you by making them want to copy everything you wear or do to your hair, make-up, etc. By the way, if you fit into that description and start new fashions with your fame and influence, you can also be called a trendsetter. 

If you follow the most recent fashions or ideas influenced by trendsetters, you can call everything you wear, have or attend trendy, such as trendy clothes, trendy nightclubs, trendy magazine, and so on. Another way to say that something is really popular at the moment, like leather jackets for example, is by saying that they are very IN. Yes, In fashion world, if something is in, it means many people are wearing it.

The word trend can also be used in different aspects. For example, if you work at a store and you notice that sales are down, you will do everything possible to change that downward trend. In that way, a trend is any change in a situation or the way people are behaving.
But back to fashion world, if youre like most people who enjoy following fashion trends but dont have much money to afford them, here is a segment that you might want to consider: high-street fashion. That term is used to describe clothes that can be bought in ordinary shops, cities, rather than being specifically made by fashion designers. And if you like to safe money while still being fashionable, bear with me because there is a specific kind of store that sells secondhand clothes and other household goods. We call them thrift shops. They typically do that as a way to raise funds for a charitable institution.

Alright guys, thats about all fow now. I will talk to you next time.
