Fashion has been an industry that changed how people dress for decades and constantly will. Most people will pay the price tag despite of their economical situation. Yes it is expensive but this is what makes me look good. Often a victim of advertisement campaigns, teenagers which are influenced by the pop culture have been the ultimate cash generating machine for major fashion designers. The most popular methods of advertisements today is the internet. A decade ago most retailers fought for an advertisemnt space in a popular teen magazine but today, a little banner in a popular teen's favorites website will do quite well. Teenagers often use social networking websites to update their latest purchase and display it on the profile for everybody else to see.
The phenomenon is often caused by the idea of getting the latest fashion products to gain respect and popularity by others, but the truth is that the corrupted mind will constantly be obsessed by it and inferiority will remain.
A fashion oriented person is a person who knows how to dress without spending a tramendous amount of money. To be embraced by the community has nothing to do with expensive clothes, smart thinking and a total focus in life is what will get you farther.
