Fashion industry misconceptions

The services of fashion stylists are mostly enjoyed by daily news papers, fashion magazines and advertising agencies. These people are required to dress up the various fashion models for photo shoots. Television shows, cinema and music are not only become the outlets for creativity but also the outlets for fashion and to some extent, fashion will become the driving force behind the creativity of entertainment. The major chunk of the job involves planning about clothes that would look good on each model. These models have to decide about the place to buy or hire the dresses and accessories which are all determine by the budget. There is lot of dilemmas prevailing in the fashion and modelling industry. Many of them can blame that advertisements in the fashion industry are the reason for many of the society's problems and eating disorders. Highly skinned fashion models and muscle men are employed with high wages by various fashion houses and companies.

All these are bound to create an assumption that his kind of body structures is the perfect body type and everyone should always try to look exactly this way. This will make most of the people, who have an urge to achieve a lot in this industry, to put a great deal of stress to look that way. So finally these advertisements will result an enormous impact on the youth of the present day as many of them have started appearing in the pages of youth magazines.

 


Majority of these cat walk models are skinny in their appearances which is the great problem faced by the fashion industry. These extreme body forms of the models, may lead to suffer from malnourishment. The young modelling aspirants on seeing these skinny models had taken these people as the bench marks and might become obsessed with the looks. They will adopt certain eating habits which will develop some kind of eating disorders. These are all the problems which are found on the career in fashion and modelling industry. Apart from all these aspects the issue of working condition in a more uncomfortable and dangerous environment especially in case of children. Many multi national fashion houses or companies expand both in the developed or developing countries in search of highly cheap and exploitable labour. By going this way they are able to hire young children to work for very long and arduous hours which will gain these industries more profit as it will be more enough for these children to pay low wages. This situation arises as many of these children are so desperate for a few rupees. To add this critical situation there is no proper laws in place to protect these children from being exploited by these multi national organizations. Actually speaking, there are no ways or means for these bond-laboured children to demand for better wages and better working conditions. Since they want to continue making the meager amount of money which they are getting, these laborers will simply tolerate the inexorable sad conditions which they had to put into.

China International Fashion Week: Designers Association, Wang's visit (Figure) - China International Fashion Week, Wang - Clothing industry

Sina Women: Dear women friends who, Hello, everybody. We are very pleased to go to the chairman of Mr. Wang Qing Designers Association to participate in our visit. What do you think this Fashion Week What are the characteristics different from the previous?


Designers Association Wang Wang: It's fashion week on it, I would like to have your hand inside this table, because the activities are more honest, you should carefully studying this table, it may really do not know where start with, do not know what to see. I looked, there are seven or eight to ten events before and after. Yesterday, I read, the next we can simply sub-categories, this year the most important from the point of view the content of the performance is essentially localized Fashion Week. Fashion Week since its inception, has not been the case. With the acceleration of China's internationalization process, we always want to pursue international, and what foreign brands more interested in the Chinese market, so census drawn Fashion Week is about to have 20 percent of foreign brands and designers, but this year Fashion Week, in addition, Japan, South Korea, only a UK release hairstyle trends.


Sina women: that is not saying the quality of local designers continually improved?


Wang: I think it may be two reasons which led, first, Europe and the United States can see that fashion is indeed subject to Financial Relatively large impact of the crisis, the second, also shows the growth of our designers has become the main body of our Fashion Week, Fashion Week in Beijing has been able to become the platform for the fashion industry's words, released to the world. Not just the Chinese brand, China's designers, fashion week inside the past, local businesses or processing industry is also a distinct predominance of the brand, this is the dominant brand designers.

Basically have their own brand of designer in publishing, this is a very good thing, that is, that our traditional Chinese garment industry has grown from processing trade towards the main stage of development a designer to design as the main stage. This is the upgrading of the most direct expression. Overall, the Chinese concept, the concept of Asia has become a leading, rather than blindly pursue past the internationalization of China has now fully internationalized. China has fully integrated into the world, and accession to the WTO, China is already part of the world economy, China has become a part of world politics, China's life and culture has become a part of the world, so the realization of China Fashion Week our words and sounds. In contrast, there are several prominent features of this year, the first, most obvious cross-strait exchanges and active, this may be the biggest change in this Fashion Week, Fashion Week this year, Taiwan's designer brands may accounted for about 20 percent of the conference, as Amy Chua month, and France, Pan Yiliang, there Oudi Fen, Taiwan's well-known Underwear Brand, there are well-known in Taiwan on the release of ten co-branding. So this is the first time in 12 years in fashion week so many of Taiwan's designers and the design of the brand in Taiwan. This also shows the cross-strait industrial and cultural exchanges to expand cross-strait market and culture in the further integration. The second feature is that the Fashion Week Men The release of designers and men the most in 12 years time, and basically own designer brand, but also that the design by emphasis on men's, men's design by the industry's attention, men's designers are also growing. Third, the view from the Fashion Week activities, design competition, all kinds of topics had been the competition is the most time, various topics of active competition, that the industry demand for talent in China's fashion industry relies on the traditional labor-intensive, and now through the years to upgrade and there have been demands for talents, the brand is not just growing up, his talent even more digging, but also to focus on their industry personnel in the environment, also shows that corporate social responsibility now , enhancement of social consciousness. They design new emphasis on mining, to build a showcase their new platform, which actually created the whole of industry resources and create a good human resources and the environment.
