WHAT IS 'FASHION'?
Started out by typing fashion in to Google as I was curious as to what will come up to be honest and for the first couple of pages I wasn't impressed so I didn't go any further. Then I thought I guess it all boils down to personal definition of the word but then I also thought I wonder if there is a universal definition given to I picked out my IPhone and searched for my installed dictionary.com app and typed in Fashion.
