Fashion Passes, Style Remains
Many people are influenced by fashion trends to some extent. Today, fashion design is fast, trendless （趋势不明的）, comfortable and personal.
The street fashion trend, one of the most common forms, is one of an expression of personality and lifestyle than of fashion designs generally. Because social media have offered many ways for people to understand better fashion designs that are happening nowadays, fashion designs have indeed become shapeless （不受约束的）.
Famous people set fashion trends. However, super stars are not the only ones who can openly express their fashion styles. Bloggers of fashion, not just professionals, but average people, can send out their fashion styles to the world. In a second, fashion will truly become everyday, everywhere, and everyone.
In the information age and a much globalized world community, fashion has transformed （改变） its outlook and concept as it starts embodying （体现） many varieties of elements of various cultures. For example, in the 1980s, jeans had monopolized （垄断） youth culture not only in the U.S.A. but also in other countries, particularly East Asian countries like Japan and Korea.
Now, American styles are no longer the standard as fashion designers of various ethnic（种族）background convey（传达）their own outlook into their designs. In addition, in this much globalized world, ethnicity is no longer the only factor that affects the fashion trend as it was decades ago. Today, people are guided by their taste, lifestyle, and experiences. For example, Alexander Wang‘s simple power women‘s look has won a lot of fans of minimalism （极简主义）.
Furthermore, today fashion trends has much developed to embody the personal brand. Everyone’s unique design can be called his or her fashion. For instance, the punk trend was original design of socially dissatisfied youths, today it has been frequently used even by fashion designers. Decades ago, fashion had its standard rules such as how women and men should wear. Today, fashion isn‘t strictly ordered by gender （性别）. There has come forth （出现） a new class of fashion named unisex in which clothing lines can be worn by both sexes. This model of fashion has been hugely popular given greater equality between men and women.
Fashion has changed, which allows more freedom of choices. The cost of fashion has also been changed. Before, fashionable clothing meant high price. Today, a fashionable piece of clothing does not need to be expensive. Simply put, price does not equate good fashion any longer. Fashion has basically evolved （演变） from not only the concept of fashion, but also the price and accessibility.
