The question which puzzles even the geniuses of the industry. FASHION VERSUS STYLE. French Connection have based a campaign on it, articles meticulously written and countless arguments between the desks of feisty fashionistas have all been based around differentiating between these two entities. You don’t have to be knowledgeable on fashion to understand how this debate originated. Do people fall in either category, or display both, or is fashion and style two different things to start with? Fashionable people can look stylish, but one doesn’t seem to necessarily lead to the other. Take the perfectly-groomed female on the tube, yes she obviously had the bank balance (or a rich Daddy) to fund her head-to-toe designer wear, but does style automatically grasp along-side? She certainly looked fashionable, but I don’t know if I would call her a ‘style-icon’, for she was only wearing a coat that we paid a tenth of the price for at Topshop, (and stopped wearing last season). But then again, if the herds follow fashion, and style only allows one’s own vision, then the majority of people would possess no style whatsoever. Britain has some of the best ‘High-Street’ shops in the world and it’s every teenage-girl’s fantasy to be locked in Topshop (by pure accident of course). Sometimes it can look like every 15 year old has been hit by the cloning tool, wearing the exact outfit seen in ‘New Look’s’ window-display four weeks previously. Now that’s when the penny drops about having your own idiosyncracies and quirks.
