Love it or hate it, fashion is here to stay. The immense impact that fashion has on today"s culture and daily life is evident everywhere you turn. From television shows like "Project Runway" and "America"s Next Top Model" to the numerous fashion magazines on newsstands, it seems that America cannot get enough. While I am sure that fashion always played a role in the social culture that makes up college campuses, it has never been more apparent.

While my extreme interest in the field of fashion may cloud my mind and make ordinary outfits and tastes seem extraordinary, I think I may be on to something. Take a moment to think about your day-to-day life - at any point during this day, do you stop and think about what you are wearing, or how good someone else looks?This is fashion. The fashion business is one that is ever-growing, changing and influencing the way we think, act and look.

While most of us may think that we are individuals and we choose what to wear without outside influence, chances are someone else has already worn the look you have created.Once the style trickles down to the everyday woman or man, the fashion innovators and leaders are already on to their next concoction. Take a moment to look around and notice how influential fashion is in your everyday life - the looks you see today may be gone tomorrow.
