Style Drifts and Its Influence on Culture

Style Drift; Everyday Fashion; Classic Fashion; Clothing.

Style Drifts arise and diminish; in parallel, a society’s values are established and evolving characteristics aligned with their beliefs and culture. Fashion is not just an ambitious portrayal of a reinterpreted traditional value aimed at fulfilling a function or agenda, but rather, it embodies a compelling and invigorating idea deserving of representation for society’s admiration, which further heightens our instinctual behavior. Within society, a person’s appearance acts as a medium to express non-verbal communication signals, such as possible indicators regarding their social standing, values, and lifestyle. Fashion communication has undergone a complete 360-degree shift in its communicable aspects, starting from projecting a basic image of our appearance and feelings, to expressing our emotional experiences through interactive elements in clothing.
