Description"Culture is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society”.
It is what a man knows about society and its ways of expression. Culture gives the basis to a better understanding of people and the world. It is something you learn with the years not only by reading. It comes mostly through listening, observing and experiencing. Without the experience part it might be very hard to grasp.
Identity “in psychology, sociology, anthropology and philosophy, is the conception, qualities, beliefs, and expressions that make a person (self-identity) or group (such as national identity and cultural identity) different from others”. It is the conception of who you are, it forms part of your persona, comes from the inner side of one self and it specifically serves to differentiate us from others. It is a concept directly related to the personality of a person. The dangerous part is when it loses its essence, because it is easy to get intoxicated by other’s beliefs. Finding it is not an easy task, but it is also not necessary to look after it.
Besides all these concepts the text will touch on two very important parts of the fashion industry; the designers and the magazines. The designers because they are the ones who are creating fashion, they are responsible of translating the zeitgeist into the clothing, bringing their conceptual ideas into reality.
And the magazines because they serve as a platform to communicate what is going on around the globe. Their pages give voice to fashion brands and can reach a larger audience of possible clients. Magazines have the power of words, they can help build careers.[...]."
