He isn’t just digging up dirt on historical subjects and bring villians to light, rather he is making us the reader question history.

That sentence stood out to me the most out of everything I read. There are so many events in history that looking back you can question was it really nessary?

Instead, the style is something of a chimera, growing out of several different subcultures and geographic sources. Starting in the late 70s with the rise of skateboarding and surfing culture and their associated fashion trends, streetwear has grown to encompass a wide range of stylistic origins ranging from hip-hop culture to Japanese street fashion. Looking at where current trends and styles are going,

Similar to another one of my sources, this book also gives illustrations as well as information on fashion styles, well known fashion events and movements, as well as notable designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. It also gives us a perception of the social influences of fashion. Along with that, it brings about the commercial side of the fashion industry, but my focus on that will be about how certain brands came to be. It provides information about how certain fashion trends went from the catwalk, to the sidewalk. This ties down and goes back to the idea about how fashion trends evolved or become a movement.

There are two enduring truths about fashion. The first truth is that it never stays the same. What was considered fashionable in the beginning of the 20th century is now viewed as old-fashioned and plain. Even from one year to the next, trends change faster than most people can keep up with. The second truth is that fashion means something different to everyone. For a clothing designer, the very word might elicit a smile. For others, the idea of fashion only brings back memories of dreaded once a year shopping trips. In the end, the age old question remains: Is fashion important? Do the clothes you wear or the style you possess matter? I am of the opinion that while it is not important to follow the latest fads, fashion is a powerful way to

The activity of individuals is motivated by two opposing social forces or goals.
