Personal Thoughts before Research

When I was young, fashion, in my point of view are clothes, accessories and anything that dresses you up which makes you look pretty. As I grew older and starts to understand things more, fashion has a much deeper meaning to me. Fashion is a way of expressing your personality in a physical way. It also shows your personal statement and brand to others. For example, everyone notice that most of the time Steve Jobs wears black white Mark Zuckerberg mostly wears dark blue. It was noticed by the public until it became like a personal trade mark of their fashion.

The way you dress yourself in formal or an informal way also gives a different impression. When you wear something formal or professional, it shows you might be a business man, a working adult or an intellectual person. Informal and casual wear gives the easy going vibe, approachable and friendly feeling. Different style of wearing clothes also gives out a different mood you're feeling every day. If you wear super colorful on that day it shows that you're in a good mood. Maybe if you wear blue, it gives a mood that you're in a more relax mood today. 

Fashion also helps us to tell which country we're from. Every citizen in every country have their own way of wearing clothes as well. It also shows different cultures or races as the same time. For example, muslims have their own fashion or let's say the hip hop culture has their own sense of fashion as well. 

Not only does it shows who you are, fashion also serves different functions. For example, thicker kind of clothing helps to keep you warm. Thinner clothing helps you keep you cool from the hot weather. Some fashion are also inspired by nature or animals. Like animal pattern printed clothing or camouflage clothing for the military. 

While music, to me personally is something that comes with a meaning, a song that speaks your mind or tells a story. Some song has a deeper meaning to it and it only touches a certain type of audience that can relate to. For example, broken pieces by The Script is dedicated to those that lost their loved ones. People that hasn't been through the experience of losing someone won't feel as much as those who has. 

Music also helps to control the mood or emotion. Some people couldn't concentrate while they study but playing a relaxing song helps them to keep focus. Another example is some games that people are playing, white playing a more hyped up song, happy song drives them to enjoy even more. 

The type of music can also determine the personality of the person. People who likes faster paste music are more likely to be hyperactive, lives a fast paste of life style. While people who likes a slower paste music are more likely to be more relax and takes things easily. The beat of the music can also control the moving paste of a person. Like how people in the gym prefers listening to songs that has a faster beat to it so it keeps them moving while training. 

When it comes to having fashion and music working together, it gives out a stronger meaning and personality. The example I could think of that fashion and music working together is fashion runways. Fashion runways uses a specific genre of song for a specific type of fashion for their runways. For example, a dress and angelic runway would use a softer and sweet song. 

I will do more research and reading to help me understand more on how fashion and music can come and work together and see what they are capable of.
