This is one of a series of four books which together review the fashion industry. Each volume examines a different aspect of fashion - the model, photographer, designer and the clothes themselves - to present an overview of a subject that has always absorbed and fascinated people. There are personal insights and advice from familiar and popular personalities - international models, photographers and designers and the fashionable people whose dress sense creates a colourful and exciting image. This book deals with the clothes people like to wear, from individual and original ideas to the more traditional and steadfast creations. A person's dress sense often is or has been influenced by an outside source - designers, friends, pop idols, sporting heroes, etc - and the book explores the roots of our fashion cultures. Why do we wear what we do? Is it really "individual" creativity, or are we being manipulated by a greedy fashion industry into constantly changing our looks, so it can sell more merchandise? The fashion world is a combination of business and artistic ingenuity. The clothes have to be sold, so we must be made to like them.
Here we read about some of the people and events that have influenced street fashion.
