Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, or furniture. "Fashion" refers to a distinctive; however, often-habitual trend in a look and dress up of a person, as well as to prevailing styles in behavior. "Fashion" usually is the newest creations made by designers and are bought by only a few number of people; however, often those "fashions" are translated into more established trends. The more technical term, "costume," has become so linked in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more general term "costume" has in popular use mostly been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing generally, and the study of it. For a broad cross-cultural look at clothing and its place in society, refer to the entries for clothing, costume, and fabrics. The remainder of this article deals with clothing fashions in the Western world.
Michael Kors (born Karl Anderson, Jr.; August 9, 1959) is an American fashion designer. He is best known for designing classic American sportswear for women.
Kors was born Karl Anderson, Jr. on Long Island, New York, the son of Joan Hamburger, a former model, and her first husband, Karl Anderson, a college student. When his mother remarried when he was five, he was told he could change his name, and he chose to become Michael David Kors. He grew up in Merrick, New York and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York. Kors' mother is Jewish and his father was of Swedish descent. Kors currently resides in New York City and married his longtime partner Lance LePere in Southampton, New York on August 16, 2011.
Michael Kors began designing clothes at the age of 19 and studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In 1981, Kors launched the Michael Kors womenswear line at Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Building on his success, Kors was named the first ever women's ready-to-wear designer and creative director for the French fashion house Celine in 1997. In his tenure at Celine, Kors turned the fashion house around with blockbuster accessories and a critically acclaimed ready-to-wear line. Kors left Celine in October 2003 to concentrate on his own brand. Kors launched his menswear line in 2002.
Jean Paul Gaultier (French: [ʒɑ̃ pɔl ɡotje]; born 24 April 1952 in Arcueil, Val-de-Marne, France) is a French haute couture fashion designer. Gaultier was the creative director of Hermès from 2003 to 2010. In the past, he has hosted the television series Eurotrash.
Gaultier never received formal training as a designer. Instead, he started sending sketches to famous couture stylists at an early age. Pierre Cardin was impressed by his talent and hired him as an assistant in 1970. Afterwards he worked with Jacques Esterel in 1971 and Jean Patou later that year, then returning to manage the Pierre Cardin boutique in Manila for a year in 1974.
His first individual collection was released in 1976 and his characteristic irreverent style dates from 1981, and he has long been known as the enfant terrible of French fashion. Many of Gaultier's following collections have been based on street wear, focusing on popular culture, whereas others, particularly his Haute Couture collections, are very formal yet at the same time unusual and playful.
Jean Paul (21 March 1763 – 14 November 1825), born Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, was a German Romantic writer, best known for his humorous novels and stories.
Jean Paul was born at Wunsiedel, in the Fichtelgebirge mountains (Bavaria). His father was an organist at Wunsiedel. In 1765 his father became a pastor at Joditz near Hof, and in 1767 at Schwarzenbach, but he died on 25 April 1779, leaving the family in great poverty. After attending the Gymnasium at Hof, Jean Paul went in 1781 to the University of Leipzig. His original intention was to enter his father's profession, but theology did not interest him, and he soon devoted himself wholly to the study of literature. Unable to maintain himself at Leipzig he returned in 1784 to Hof, where he lived with his mother. From 1787 to 1789 he served as a tutor at Töpen, a village near Hof; and from 1790 to 1794 he taught the children of several families in a school he had founded in nearby Schwarzenbach.
Jean Paul began his career as a man of letters with Grönländische Prozesse ("Greenland Lawsuits", published anonymously in Berlin) and Auswahl aus des Teufels Papieren ("Selections from the Devil's Papers", signed J. P. F. Hasus), the former of which was issued in 1783-84, the latter in 1789. These works were not received with much favour, and in later life Richter himself had little sympathy for their satirical tone. A spiritual crisis he suffered on 15 November 1790, in which he had a vision of his own death, altered his outlook profoundly. His next book, Die unsichtbare Loge ("The Invisible Lodge"), a romance published in 1793 under the pen-name Jean Paul (in honour of Jean Jacques Rousseau), had all the qualities that were soon to make him famous, and its power was immediately recognized by some of the best critics of the day.

There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name

Fashion is the only cure
It always leaves you wanting more
Fashion people know the score
Ah? Fashion!
I'm just a slave to it all
Walking down the street feeling like she is complete
She's got her Gucci, Prada, Louis, Saba
Isn't that neat
She thinks that everyone is looking as she's passing them by
And everything looks better with heels three inches high
Fashion!
Step back
Every street's a catwalk when you?re looking like that
I'm just a slave to it all
Get rich, stay kitch, give me another hit
I'm just a slave to it all
Couture, some more, fashion?s the only cure
Walking down the street with her new man no-one's seen
She's laughing, joking, smiling hoping everyone sees
She's got the perfect guy to match her image alright
She loves it when she sees the girls have envious eyes
Fashion!
Step back
Every street's a catwalk when you're looking like that
Fashion!
It's so cool
When life is like a video and magazine shoot
Fashion is the only cure
It always leaving you wanting more
Fashion people know the score
Wear what I wear
Its really cool
Dress like I do
Follow me like a fool
But I'm not a robot
I'll do what I feel
Stuff your fashion
You slimy eel
You pull me down
Because I'm different
I wear what I choose
It's not up to you
Fashion
Is total fucking shite
You're beat up and mocked
If you don't do it right
I am who I am
You are who you Are
So leave me alone
Who cares if I'm off par?
I don't care
For your ruthless fashion
Being a robot
Just isn't my passion
Your love is all I have
It brings me to the floor
I can't ignore the way You make me feel
Your eyes are fixed on me
Your words will light my way
From day to day I will never need a thing
You're faithful to the end
You've let me know through every circumstance
You will never leave my side
You're closer than my breath
You're always on my mind
And still there's room for more of You in my life
Invade my very heart
Change me until I am who You are
Come and fashion me until every part
Is how You desire
Those stains that covered me
They all have disappeared since You came near
You've made me like a child
Now I see through Your eyes the way it ought to be
And yes
I miss you
A bit more
On every day
Your style
Your fashion
Pictures won't go fade away
But maybe it's good as it is for now
Anyhow
Try to answer
What's the reason for the fear
Why is this confusing
And everything within
But maybe it's good as it is for now
You are my lullaby
You are my song
But you're far away
Without you it feels so wrong
And yes
I look for the love I feel inside
On every place I'll go to
As long as I'm alive
That's a nice shirt you're wearing
Oooh and look at those shoes
You're dressed like you don't have a worry at all
(Why thank you)
Just look at those pants
How much did they cost?
Girl, you've got nothing to worry about
(I know)
Just where are you going?
Ooh lookin' like that
You must be breaking some kinda law
You're a slave to fashion
And everyone knows
You're lookin good from your head to your toe
Where did you get your hair done?
And where do you shop?
Paris ain't one of your subway stops
Is that bag a Versace?
Or a Louis Vuitton?
I just can't seem to keep up at all
(Oh please)
All I'm tryin' to say here
Is girl you're lookin good
I can't believe we're standing in the same room
You're just a slave to fashion
And everyone knows
That's a nice shirt you're wearing
Oooh and look at those shoes
You're dressed like you don't have a worry at all
[Girl:] (Why thank you)
Just look at those pants
How much did they cost?
Girl, you've got nothing to worry about
(I know)
Just where are you going?
Ooh lookin' like that
You must be breaking some kinda law
