Understanding What Fashion Is

Fashion is a form of autonomy and self-expression in a given time and situation and in a certain context, of attire, footwear, fashion, makeup, hairstyles, and personality. In its broader usage, the word implies an appearance defined by the fashion industry as what is trendy. The term is often used colloquially to refer to a trend that becomes “in” (a fan) in a short period of time. When it becomes out of style, it is considered outdated. Some examples of out-dated trends include:

Timeless Fashion: This type of fashion is timeless because it is attractive and flattering. It is what makes us feel good about ourselves. Timeless fashion trends usually focus on fabrics, color, and patterns that are wearable for multiple seasons. Examples of timeless fashion trends include: ballerina flat shoes, floral prints, vintage jewelry, chiffon, and tailored clothing.

Classic Fashion: This type of fashion is generally considered classic for a period that predates modernity. The fashion of this era is generally considered classic for at least one year. Classic fashion trends focus on materials, patterns, and accessories that are wearable for several seasons. Examples of timeless classic fashion include: shawls, sweaters, cardigans, pants, jackets, dresses, and capes. Retro fashion is sometimes considered a sub-genre of classic fashion. Retro trends revolve around a current fashion design but are influenced by fashions from decades ago.

Sporty Fashion: Sporty fashion is very individual. Different elements combine to create each sporty fashion, such as shorts, tops, pants, skirts, and leggings. Most sporty fashion is comfortable, casual, and easy to move in. Example of sporty fashion include: tracksuits, sweat suits, basketball jerseys, tracksuits, running pants, tennis skirts, tracksuits, and yoga pants. Sporty trends tend to be short-lived and are generally not worn long term.

Vintage Fashion: Vintage fashion focuses on old and traditional styles. Fashion varies greatly depending on the era of clothing. Some popular vintage styles include: Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Retro, and Viennese.

Country Fashion: This fashion tends to focus on fabrics and materials that are commonly found in rural environments. Typically country fashion clothes tend to be informal and comfortable. For example: sun dresses, western shirt, and jeans. They tend to be made from fabrics such as cotton, linen, and chiffon.

Casual Fashion: Casual fashion clothing is appropriate for everyday use. It can include shirts, shorts, pants, skirts, and blouses. Unlike formal fashion, casual fashion doesn’t require the same amount of thought or skill. Some examples of casual clothing include: sweat suits, casual trousers, casual shirts, jeans, and blouses.

Celebrities are often a good source of information on what types of fashion are currently popular. Fashionable trends are subject to change every day as new stars emerge. If you are looking for a particular item, try checking out what the celebrities are wearing at various events. For example: what Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Oprah Winfrey, and Victoria Beckham are wearing today could be completely different from what they were wearing last week. Fashionable trends tend to change in time.

If you are a woman reading this article you most likely do not fall into any of the categories above. It is important to remember that what is in fashion at the moment will not be in fashion next week, next month or next year. Trends are cyclical. A trend may be popular one day but not the next. Keep an eye on the trends going on around you because there is always something new and something sexy coming out. Remember: stay informed!

Who Did Toto Think of to Write ‘I’m a Tin Man’?

Who Did Toto Think of to Write ‘I’m a Tin Man’?

Toto is originally a mutation of Tooke or Tonga. The original meaning of Toto was ‘thorn’ or ‘tang’ and in some areas its root was even thought to be poisonous. Its meaning has since changed to that of ‘dagger’.

This was the main character of the story of how Tom Po, or To Tooke became a member of the American rock band Kiss. This was mainly because of the fact that their singer, Mark Linn-Baker, was a drug addict. He was once captured by the police and taken to the penitentiary but later escaped from it. However he was recaptured and served time in jail but managed to get out again and was finally let free again.

Eventually, To Po found work in a rather famous American rock band called KISS. Not entirely content with this, he decided to form his own band named Toto. However Toto failed to gain much popularity in the United States, despite the efforts of its lead singer. Instead it became a huge success in Japan, where it was a huge hit and to this day is recognized as one of the best known and most popular Japanese rock bands. This group also achieved some major success in Europe but to no avail.

One of the main characters in American rock band Velvet Revolver is named To Po. At one point in the song Tainted Love there is a shot of To Po, who is dressed in a black leather outfit and has a shaven head. In another shot of Toto the leader of the group is dressed similarly but has a goatee. So the image that captures the imagination of the audience in both shots is that of a beautiful black American woman named Dorothy.

Another artist who might have inspired Toto to create a song named Jackie Onasis. Also, from LA rock band Insane. She is well known for her hard-hitting singles such as Reachin’ Again and Wasted. Many people may not know who Jackie Onasis actually is, but she was once a member of the Californian band The Birthday Party. It is rumoured that she would often dress up like Toto in order to attract men.

There are many more artists who Toto inspired including Carlos Santana, David Lee Roth and Steve Vai. Many people believe To Po’s role in the Tin Man movies to be a direct result of Toto meeting Carlos Santana when they were recording their album Steely Dan in 1970. In these films Toto plays the part of Donner, a friend and occasional companion of the young Santana. Other actors who have had some input into Toto’s music include: Herb Ellis, Carl Davis, Yusef Islam, Mark Linn-Baker, Yusef Islam, Carl Davis, Yusef Islam, and Eric Clapton. Indeed, Eric Clapton is said to have told Toto “You make me think of you” after their song Purple Haze.
