Fashion might look simple but it full of power, it is one of the things that control the world underground it has the power to influence our way of lives what we put on, eat, how we behave and how we perceive things to be either appropriate or inappropriate.

Fashion has been in existence from time in memorial it is like a continum that has no end, has long as the world is in existence fashion will continue to be in existence. Fashion is practice by everyone even though some of us may denial that we are not following fashion but in our subconscious we are, nobody want to put on something that is no longer accepted in the society or among our peers when we have any ceremony to organize we browse through the internet or ask people around us how it is been done so as to increase our integrity and fit into a particular class. Fashion is like a double side coin it has both advantages and disadvantages.

How does fashion impact our personal expression and individuality?

Our personal expression can be expressed through fashion without us taking and people will understand what we mean for example if you enter a gathering and all the people are dressed in black one thing that will strike your mind is are they here for a funeral or did they lose someone close to them the reason you are able to denote this is the fashion they display in their mode of dressed and their act. If you meet someone you can easily guess whether they are okay financially or not by the fashion they display, you see someone putting on a shirt of #30,000, shoe of #40,000, driving a car of #5,000,000 and living in a big house and another person putting on a cloth of #1500 and not having a car, living in a small hut without you asking them question you can know their individuality, fashion can also help differentiate a culture from the other, occupation, proffesion, tribe and level of education infact it also tell us about a person religion.

How is fashion being used as a tool for social change?

We can use fashion as a tool for social change in an economy, political, religion and cultural way of life of people living in that society, in an economic prior to modernization all those things that were invoke are presently not fashionable during modernization. Politically fashion has improve our electroral process to a more advanced and transparent one. It also helps to change some good and bad habit in the society but the bitter thing is that fashion is driving our youth to bad habit like frued, stealing, disobedience, lying all in their quest to have a means to be fashionable.

How do you think fashion will continue to shape our society's values and beliefs in the future?

Fashion is not static it will continue to change it will bring both positive and negative impact on our culture. The positive impact is that it will improve some of our cultural practices and the negative aspects is that our culture and value will not be value again people will not have the urge to study it and follow it, it will be regarded as old fashion our cultural hairstyle, food, ways of life and act will no longer be accepted as they will regards it as old school only to be used by the low class and uneducated ones.
