What is the role of fashion promotion within the fashion industry, and how will it develop over the next 5 years?

Georgina Howell (Harrison 1999:21) Bailey discloses that he '[only] ever tried to convey in fashion

The theme in T.C. Boyle’s “Greasy Lake” is demonstrated when the narrator and his friends learn a potentially deadly lesson through a series of accidents, caused as a result of their reckless pursuit to be bad. The nature of life reveals to them that striving to be bad in order to be viewed as hip or cool can often result in dark accidents, with catastrophic consequences. In the beginning of the story, three adolescent boys believe themselves to be “dangerous characters” (Boyle, 131) and that “it was good to be bad, when you cultivated decadence like a taste” (130). However, they learn painful lessons during summer vacation that

There are other methods that can be used to engage a fashion audience, other than sex sells and size 0 models. One such campaign was named “Why don’t you?” by Diana Vreeland.

After years of hard work, Vreeland finally became editor-in-chief of American Vogue from 1963 until 1971. “Why don’t you?” was her most famous work.

The envy and desire to wear certain things and look a certain way all come, from wearing the latest fashion handbags, accessories, dresses, shoes, and the list goes on. But, when is considering fashion into an individual’s life going too far to the extreme?
