Hear are some quote that we can relate to the quote that we where given last week.

Quote 1
At first it appears to simply restate the notion of consuming designer fashion to display status, wealth and power, yet the glittering gold embroidery around the jacket doses not parade the designer's logo to reinforce the wearer's purchasing power but reads: 'waste of money'.

Quote 2
'Consumerism is far more than just economic activity: it is also about dreams and consolation,communication and confrontation, images and identity.

Quote 3
Life is cruel to people who aren't fabulous.

Fashion 17 th century v's 21th century ?

Quote"

" A women which is faire in shew , is foule in condition: she is like unto a glow worme,which is bright in the hedge , and blacke in the hand; in the greenest grasse lyeth hid the greatest serpents: painted potts commonly hold deadly poison: and in the cleersest water the ugliest tode; the fairest woman hath some filthiness in her."

What is this saying about the fashion both now and in past?
