is fashion who we are?

Throughout history we have always had fashion with style. They are two major factors that come to mind when we judge others. In Europe during the renaissance for example, men who had a sword with them on their side would be considered upperclassmen. Women who wore rich Jewry obviously made others assume that she is wealth. What you wear (fashion) is a strong characteristic that makes others determine who you are. If you see a person in old, dirty and sometimes smelly clothing you can assume that person is homeless or extremely poor. If you see a man in a tux, you can assume he is participating in some kind of celebration and possibly has some money in reach. If you see a person who is wearing clothing that has an odd style, you can assume that he is not up-to-date.
 In the easy we read in class which was about style, she categorized fashion into two major areas; black style and white. When I first heard the part of black style, what came to my mind was the comedy movie of Borat. When borat was going through the US, he met with some black men or possibly gangsters in a sense. He asked them to teach him how to be cool. So they taught him to speak in street talk and made him wear his clothing in a different way, or more accurately, in a different style. When he went back to a hotel he behaved in that style and the next thing he faced were the security men. This part of the movie is extremely alike to the topic of style.
And who determines the fashion of the century? It is every person, including you. Even though you might not be the one who designs it, you still support it by actual dressing or behaving in that style. Of course there are those who might not be fans of modern style. These people are usually adults such as our parents and elders. I wanted to have a specific hair cut but my entire dad wanted was my hair to be short and simple.
