I agree with you Arturo21. Fashion is like works in some many different dimensions that it is like an institution in its self! There are so many different functions for fashion especially modern fashion. Its ranges from porous mineral rings set in onyx to a paper thin, stemless bulb wine glass. Fashion isn't just on the runway and I think that is attributed to a new light on modernism. All things can be fashionable whether you are wearing it, watering it, dusting it, or listening to it. Its ever changing. Never finite.

It can be a nice skirt, and we can buy it to look good - but why do we want to look good? I think that's a basic in this subject. It's for the wearer to feel good, to look good, to express - here I go corny - himself/herself in a way.
We can't forget lifestyle either or reasons. Military uniforms have inspired many designers for different reasons - because they look good or because they are historical and the designer is interested in such or because the designs of a military outfit emit power. Many designs came about for a certain purpose, and function meets design.
There is not one thing about fashion that you can say, that's it...that's fashion, that's what it's all about, it's just that - it's too many things at once to be able to say that. I guess what I'm trying to say that there is a different purpose for everyone, it 'interacts' with the wearer.
