Fashion is something which influences a great number of people’s clothing choices from year to year. Some have no interest whatsoever, whereas others will not stop until their wardrobe is filled with the season’s top garments. Fashion has existed in many areas of life for a considerable amount of time, so is by no means new. Fashion designers seek to create new pieces however, pushing the boundaries to create distinctive and sometimes controversial concepts. As top designers are sometimes out of the price range of potential customers, large numbers of stores create similar looking items which are affordable, enabling more people to enjoy new trends.
Fashion journalists tend to either love or hate garments, and can be very influential on public perception of a particular style or design. Those who are very interested in being fashionable will tend to keep a close eye on fashion magazines for up to date information and to see the reception of new looks. People often look back at the popular fashions of past decades with some embarrassment. The 80s look is a good example - currently associated with poor taste and big hair! Fashion, however, can be cyclical. A number of older looks are currently regaining popularity; these looks are often referred to as retro.
Even those who love fashion will stop short of certain trends. The way in which people, especially women, are portrayed by the media tends to champion an unusual and often unhealthy body type, leading to young girls everywhere suffering from low self esteem and even eating disorders. It is easy to see why young people assume you have to look something like Katie Price (glamour model Jordan) in order to marry a man such as Peter Andre. Despite the recent breakup of the couple, many see Katie Price’s life as a success in general and wish to emulate her look. Due to differences in appearance and low confidence, it is unusual to find people outside of the modelling, music or movie scene wearing leotards as a fashion statement. The sad truth is that even girls and women who put an awful lot of effort into achieving what they believe to be an ‘ideal’ look, they would still be too lacking in confidence to wear garments such as leotards.
Most high street and online stores selling the fashionable look to everyday people recognise that the majority of women are not built like models. There are all kinds of trends in existence at any given time, for people with alternative tastes, and for those who wish to just be a bit more covered up than celebrity singers wearing leotards! Items such as jeans and trousers, long skirts and more baggy tops are always to be found. Leotards, there is no doubt, can look great, and are used all over the world by dancers and gymnasts of all kinds, proof of their great flexibility. Dance wear is becoming increasingly fashionable, and it is reasonable to assume that this will continue to be the case as it features a lot in music videos. The main fashion tip to always remember is to wear something you feel comfortable in, as your confidence and ease will show through making you more attractive than ever!

His music was iconic, but so was his fashion sense. We miss you!
I spent over a week looking for all the right pieces. I spent a lot of time prepping for this video, but I loved every second of it. I really tried my best to get all the outfits, but because of the limited time and his birthday rolling around the corner, I had to make quick decisions like using tape on the Thriller jacket and using the necklace on the military blazer. Please excuse the fact that it’s not perfect!
All music is from Michael Jackson. I own no copyrights to any of these songs.
For the thriller red jacket, I used black electrical tape on it to create the “Thriller” jacket look. If you can’t buy the original jacket, you can make it like I did!
. A lot of people asked, but this entire collection cost me around $1,000.00. I flew to NYC just to get a few items like the H&M jacket. I left out a few items, but you are seeing the most key outfits!
All the clothes are from
