Like many others things such as music, movies and sport; fashion has its firm place in popular culture. Fashion runs parallel with society on just about every level, sometimes mirroring it and sometimes paving the way. We consume what we see and we embrace what we like the look of.
Probably the closest thing to fashion is the arts, in particular, music. Musicians and artists are often regarded as trendsetters and the more accessible their attire, the more people can latch onto these trends and feel part of something big. Many artists over the years have capitalised on this by releasing their own clothing lines, offering not just their music but a whole wardrobe of clothing items and accessories to accompany it.
An intriguing aspect of designer fashion specifically, is that everything is relative and, where music and art somewhat govern the fashion style of its creatives, they wear what they choose to accompany their art because their clothing is a direct influence of their art. Whether the music is indie, goth or hip hop, a specific fashionable style will exist to accompany it. This means that the artists are more accessible as these clothing items can be bought for reasonable prices in shops or online.
The trick to borrowing a style from a celebrity is not to copy, but to experiment and accessorise. You don’t want to be branded a copycat wannabe.
