How often are we shown images of fashion???? But what is really fashion? Is it downtown LA EMO Chic or is it Couture???

We are living in the culture of the mass. We crave the drug called fashion. As humans we have evolved, through industrialization, and have become trapped by society's influence, on what we are cultured to see as fashionable. Who's to say that the A-pocket Jean and the C encrusted jean is fashionable? Why aren't the $30 jeans and costume jewelry the fashion that everybody is desiring. It all depends on your taste and your take in the consumer based culture that we call FASHION.. but all of these points of interests are influenced by society and what it views as being fashionable, "cool". Therefore it seems that no one person can every achieve their own personal take on what is fashionable because ones decision on what is fashionable is determined by society.
