Fashion is the creation of physical clothing items designed to trigger the desire for consumption and conformity. Fashion is about appearance. Fashion is armor. Fashion is experimentation. Fashion is creative. Fashion is the product of a vision of the world. Fashion is an industry. Fashion is a phenomenon. People need fashion for different reasons. Maslow's hierarchy of needs demonstrates a five-stage model that can be divided into “basic (or deficiency) needs (e.g., physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth (self-actualization) needs.” (Abraham H. Maslow, 1998, page 98). Figure 1 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs You must satisfy your lower-level basic fashion needs before moving on to satisfy your higher-level growth needs. After these lower needs are moderately satisfied, one will be able to arrive at the highest level called self-realization, allowing him to create his own identity using fashion. After taking these essential components of fashion into consideration, we can see that clothing is not only necessary for the basic needs of survival. It is needed for much more than just protection from the elements (e.g. to appear acceptable in society, create one's appearance, adopt a style through influences, fit into groups, identify who they are and create relationships, etc.). Because homo sapiens are extremely social animals, we often find ways to communicate who we are in the social environment. Because we are so influenced and influenced by society, the act of fashion approval comes instinctively to us. To feel like we belong in society, we create and shape our outward appearance to make an impression and help others understand who we feel we are. The way we want to appear in society is the way we express our personality... in the center of the card... or supposedly praise. The contrast ranges from immediate people – our friends, siblings and parents – to distant people – celebrities, pop stars, fashionistas, sports stars and other artists. We start identifying with our superstars and start worshiping them. Interestingly, in our media-proliferated age, our superstars are likely to be “well-orchestrated” celebrities. It has long been known that a person's fashion choices influence how they are perceived, and we live in a culture where we are encouraged to admire and acquire through inspirational images of prominent personalities. Instead, style and fashion should reflect one's character and self-esteem. We should stand out from the crowd with a unique style and not be a person who slavishly follows popular trends. “Fashion passes, but style is eternal” – Yves Saint Laurent. (Yale Breslin, 2012).
