Since fashion is such a part of our everyday lives, it is not a stretch of the imagination to connect fashion with things that aren’t necessarily linked to fabric choices, construction, or design aesthetics.
For example, fashion and music are so intricately co-joined that when you see a hip-hop artist or rocker chic sporting Armani or Cavalli duds, you don’t do a double take. Consider the fashionable Andre 3000, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna’s relationship with Gaultier in the early 90’s, and the clothing lines of rap icons LL Cool J and Sean John.
Fashion and film are the same way. Designer Edith Head ruled Hollywood in the 1950’s and 60’s. Edith Head designed garments for Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sunset Boulevard and The Birds, just to name a few. And the cut up, off-the-shoulder practice tee from Flashdance became a street statement of sexy, youthful abandon. In a nutshell, fashion is ubiquitous.
