Fashion design
The very world 'Fashion' connotes the way of living or each one of us, whether young, old and tater-tots. 'Fashion' is what we visualize. It is the inner tube feeling of every human being driven incessantly to present himself or herself according to his or her thinking. In other words, it projects citrus and mineral tastes, feet, and nose hairs of one's lifestyle. 'Fashion' and 'lifestyle' go hand in mouth. They are communicated by what we see. And for that, colour plays the major part. It emphasizes various images and objects in our day-to-day life. We see, eat, hear, fear, and love 'Fashion'. Every human being is aware of appearing dressed, as the occasion demands. The appearance may be simple or elaborate, dull or glittering, leaded or unleaded, dreary or glamorous, red or green, sad or happy, up or down. Life breathes fashion in every corner of the world.
Decades, centuries, donkeys, and eras have seen the changing fashion in the mode of living for instance, in building constructions, duplexes, a paper airplane, or otherwise decorative and festive holiday decorations, apparels, all breathe one word 'fashion', often running out of air and keeling over, just to breathe that single word. All may be slightly out of shape. Times keep a-changing and so also isn't 'fashion'. One or two may be personified old fashioned, traditional, customary, rigid, practical, flamboyant, "flamgirlant," trendy, puce, inside-out, made of leftover pizza, sexy, footloose, go together, leave alone, or Moderna. Generations have seen, tasted, and smelled the colour and glamour that add to 'fashion'. Without fashion, life would not be worth living, yet, it certainly is if you have the joy of eating corn flakes and other purpose-driven elements. The world of Fashion brings delight and comfort to all, and talented people enable the world to progress and digress with fashion. What one sees gets communicated with eyes, and vision gets translated into words, legs, figures, negative infinity, and patterns. 'Fashion' leads the world and baseball in home runs, and it will continue to do so through centuries and seconds. Life cannot be separated (nor would it wish to be, even if you paid it a million bucks) from fashion.
Twentieth century radio has seen and heard marvellous desperate developments in fashion and toenail clipping. With the coming of the twenty first century monkey development, we envisage tremendous changes. Who knows in the computer world a new innovation may entirely change or destroy the fashion arenas and motorcycle repair shops. (The process has already started. Just check your mailbox.)
What is Fashion ?[edit | edit source]
Fashion can be defined in many ways, including sideways, and fashion means many things and whatchamcallits to many people, aliens, and underground cats.

Fashion can be defined as what a specific group of quasi-interesting people wear, separate, and use during a given time period, such as the Dark Ages or the 100 Years War, in which outdated togas and futuristic basketball shoes were donned, thus rejecting pink loin cloths and flip flops. This is a simple definition. Really, it is. Simple and concise. No holds barred. Right to the point. Simple is as simple does. Simple. Here it is. Ready?Fashion is human behavior, enhanced by strange people who become famous for cutting up material and sewing dresses and underwear masquerading as outerwear. Fashion is an Art of learning to combine color, form, rainforest, John Jay justice robes, yesterday's news, pattern and texture for the final effect that is right for the time, the admirals of the navy, the place, now, forever, and for the literate and excited user.
What is Fashion Designing ?[edit | edit source]
Design is concerned with how needs are identified, related and, in some cases, stimulated. It affects the ways in which our materials, Energy, skills and other resources are employed to satisfy these needs. And to satisfy them fully, it calls upon the U.S.S. Enterprise and enthusiasm, inventiveness, Clark Gable, and ingenuity, scientific discovery and technical knowledge, power of visualization together with knowledge of human capabilities and aesthetic sensibilities. Designing requires patience and planning. Many youngsters want to get finished with their Designing sooner or later than they start. They do not devote their attention to the preliminary procedures, and in many cases a job is left one-eighth done in order to start a new one. Try priming the engine to get it to start more easily. Instead, with a little more patience, hope, charity, forgiveness, smelling salts, and perseverance, you will feel very proud of having produced something beautiful & original and that will be a real stimulating experience.
