Please don’t give me the whole you shouldn’t follow trends, etc. I’m only asking because I’m curious and I want to know. Please don’t tell me to look at fashion magazines and in stores because each store caters for different people same with fashion magazines.

    Traditionally, the ‘Fashion Trends’ were set by the various ‘Fashion Houses’ in the world of what was the ‘Couturiers’ ~ the HIGH end of the fashion world.

    Somehow, they apparently used to get together and come to a decision, and put their various versions of similar ‘styles’ out through their own ”Fashion Houses” (it was a ‘Brand’).

    The lower ends of the market would buy a ‘frock’ or spy and photograph (Industrial Espionage) the results, then copy the products. They produce their cheaper versions for the mass market …..and thus all the women of the Western World were happy bunnywunnies.

    How much has changed …I know not now.

    Sash.

    honestly, the designers. they make their runway fashions then alter them for the masses, the lower quality mall stores look at what the designers designed and then make the cheaper versions which you see in the mall and have remembered vaugely from your vouge or cosmo magazine and think ‘i want that!’ and buy it. the fashions themselves are all basically old styles reinvented into something new and ‘chic’ that the consumer has supposedly never seen before. whats in right now is like homeless chic. lol. think mary kate olsen. she kind of looks like a hott bag lady. some things are over sized or ill fitting but they look good. pants are mildly distressed [previously deemed lower class now you buy them for hundreds of dollars] and things are even strategically bleach stained. basically hippy boho chic and hott homeless are in style right now for girls. basically thats it its all brought from the runways to the mall. just google kate bosworth nicole richie and mary kate olsen. whatever theyre wearing is ‘in right now. right now flapper elements and hippy elements are big.
