Why does fashion matter to me? I see fashion as a metaphor for life. It changes in time, it has ups and it has downs, and it is diverse, with each distinct style representing a distinct personality. Sometimes, fashion can help you recognize something about yourself that you didn’t already know. In fact, I didn’t even realize how much I loved flowers until I took a closer look at my wardrobe. When I feel sad, I find myself wearing darker, gloomier colors, and when I feel happy the clothes...

Last week, Hirshleifers held a charitable event celebrating Long Island based Sunrise Day Camp, the only day camp for children with cancer in the country. Renowned fashion designer, Yigal Azrouel, made an appearance at the event, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to ask him why fashion matters to him! The “self-taught designer” told me that he had learned the fundamentals of design by exploring art through personal experiences in life. Born and raised in Israel, Yigal is a...

It always amazes me how the stories we choose to share about our lives reveal so much about us. They speak to our dreams, our disappointments and, most tellingly, to the values we live by. The other day I had the chance to speak with Simone I. Smith, talented jewelry designer, devoted mother of four, cancer survivor, gourmet cook, a woman whose heritage spans many cultures, a person of strong faith, and longtime wife of LL Cool J. While that last reference might garner the most attention...

Fashion is about style, beauty, the present and the future. A blend of fantasy and reality. It provides all those who partake with a voice- - a means of self-expression- - and a sense of self-satisfaction and esteem.

"Fashion is what begins with a designer's imagination and ends with a consumer's satisfaction. It's a void that every designer strives to fill by inventing and creating something new, providing ultimate comfort, style, and satisfaction -- just like what Chanel did years ago by introducing pants for women."

"It's all about fascinating people.
Fashion matters because I want to look attractive and think that many other people, too."

Blake Mycoskie is the founder of TOMS, a company that uses fashion as a vehicle for social change. In 2006 while traveling, Mycoskie befriended a group of impoverished children from Argentina. He saw that these children didn’t have access to shoes, and he was made aware that many children in developing countries are in a similar situation. Feeling motivated to help these children alleviate the soil-transmitted diseases and sore feet that come from walking barefoot, as well as the...

Big budget or not, fashion is an incredible opportunity to show yourSELF...your taste, your art, your mood, your color-sense, your creativity, your playfulness, your attitude...you.
(And, of course, HIDE it, if you so choose)!

Through the last century, there've been countless names leading the charge, defining fashion on the runways of New York and Europe. With that said, fashion, at its highest level, ultimately is limited to the closets of the privileged few. Instead of arguing or describing who made fashion matter, as there are so many names, I want to give a shout out to all the less well-known designers. Many who've worked anonymously in second tier fashion labels, taking the prevailing trend and makes it...

Fashion Matters...plainly and simply because it does. It is not merely a current style or practice that makes you live in the now and trend, it is a form of art and culture that never fades. Fashion isn't just something that makes you decide on how you're going to look, but also how you're going to feel. With that said, Fashion is a very personal and intimate aspect of our lives that should be considered both valuable and a true expression of how we live life in our so to speak, simple but...

Fashion reflects your personality. It can extend who you are or it can interpret who you want to become. What you wear and how you look are peoples first impression no matter what. That is what they see first. I love to make a bold gesture by using in my wardrobe colors. Its the summer time so how about an Italian linen trouser in a pastel or bright color. Fashion is head to toe.

Whether one chooses to follow fashion news and information or not, it ultimately gives us an identity. What's in fashion now simply means the accepted norm, at the moment. True fashion's timeless, and always comes back around, to be in fashion once again.

Fashion is a visual expression of who we are!!!! Fashion is vital, as each individual is identified by thier sex, name, and fashion choices. Fashion unlike our sex and name is a decision we make from our clothes, shoes, hair, makeup...and even how we decorate our homes... Our fashion choices identify our taste, our preference and ultimately identifies us to the world!
