Fashion and Culture


We live in a world that has different kind of cultures. Culture is a very important part of a person,it defines  and makes them who they are. The world that we live in always likes experiencing peoples cultures in a different way such as wearing their traditional clothes,eating their food,speaking their language and getting involved in celabrations that they usually have. It is not a bad thing because they get exposed in knowing how other cultures operate as a whole,and they get to know their cultural lifestyle.


Fashion and Culture is the in thing in our country known as South Africa. We are a cultural diverse nation that allows any individual from any country to be part of us and learn any culture they want. African countries have a variety of traditional clothes that they wear to symbolise their cultures,to them it is fashion.  Fashion to them is not all about money but its about emabracing their cultures,showing off their bright african colours and their style of wearing. What matters most to them is wearing their clothes that they consider as fashion. Their style of cultural clothing is used or worn in different kind of occassions such as runways, wedding celebrations and cultural events. This becomes facinating to peole who are mostly intrested in knowing other cultures and those who are learning about them. People from foreign countries that is SADC countries mostly love wearing their cultural attirres it could be when shopping,working, going to school ect. Their style of wearing includes long dresses, stylish hats and accessories and wearing the full outfit they realli look good and stunning. To them this defines who they really are and that weather its fashionable culture or not they still follow it.

Do you like it big or small...Bag it

www.blogs.babble.com





Trends are taking the world by storm,who would have thought that one day a bag would be a girls most desirable accessory's, Well lets find out. A number of ladies who know the ins and outs of fashion and the latest trends that hit the stores usually know where to find the best bags in town. Bags differ in sizes and designs and each and every individual has their own tastes in bags. It usually depends on a certain individual on what kind of bags  they like,it can be small or big but usually an outfit that one is dressed in gives them the option of what kind of bag should they carry.



It is a known thing that a lady that doesn't carry a bag isn't a lady at all,because a bag defines who you really are.There are different types of bags that we see and use in our everyday life,be it formal bag,casual bag,travelling bag and occasional bag. These types of bags have their own types of occasions,you cant just carry a bag that doesn't compliment that kind of occasion. We all know that a travelling bag is used for travelling and they also come in different sizes,so when travelling one must not always carry the appropriate bag needed in that kind of trip. In special occasion one must always use the small chick bag that compliments her dress to look stunning,they mustn't complicate the whole outfit because it will end up being ruined.

So it is clear that it depends to a certain individual on what kind of bags they prefer and weather they are comfortable or not in them....your choice lies in you bag it!!!

fashion repeats itself



It is usually said that history repeats itself but this time around fashion did. That's one thing that we never bared in mind and we thought that it might never happen but it did. As fashion lovers we don't see or realise that the clothes and trends that we are wearing nowadays were once worn in the olden days by our great grand parents. We always buy and not notice that this was once worn by some of our late grand parents but if we go check it out in the old wardrobe full of un used clothes will find it.

Fashion is a very diverse thing around the world but question is why are we going back to the old fashion that our grandmothers worn back in the days?are fashion designers out of ideas?or its just history repeating itself? A lot of clothes that we as the youth of today wear is usually idolised by our parents,our parents can pick up an outfit for us because they know how well this fashion goes as they used to wear it back in the days. Its funny how we wear vintage clothing yet our parents have grown out of it and adapted to the new style,to us its fashion but to them its old stuff and it doesn't show any interest. Fashion has been repeatedly repeating its self from you're vintage clothing which includes Baggy pans,blouses,stud earrings,chiffon dresses etc. Colour blocking has also taken over the world even though its not necessary in other outfits,people are just murdering it and its not on. Fashion is something that should be creative,funky and fun and its suppose to suit every personalty. If we keep on going back to the olden days do we think that this kind of style will suit everyone or not. Who knows what will be next?
