 It deviates youngsters from studies

 Youngsters who pay more attention to fashion are less attentive to their studies and
when it comes to devoting time to their academic career, they seem to be less
concerned. This very attitude and the role of fashion Magazines is harming the very
basics of the student community and they start feeling that their life would reach a
certain height if they involve their selves in the fashion activities.

 At schools, students have started to rank themselves with fashion.

 Students have started to decided who's who by what they wear, and if one doesn't
have enough money to buy a certain piece of clothing, then see it being worn around
schools, than their self-esteems can be lowered to a certain degree, and can be seen as
a target to bullies, making the situation worse.

 People are too bind to realize what fashion can do to person.

 From experience and have watched people surfer. Fashion is killing teenagers and
some adults. Fashion is a waste of time. What happened to people expressing
themselves? There are too many people wrapped up in what's in or getting the next
best thing. 

Also, the so-called fashion of "thin bodies"; what the hell is up with that?people who
are so called "fat and ugly" struggle with being in style and having a thin body people
want to see. they starved themselves and made them throw up just to fit in. Honestly,
they used to be wrapped up in fashion, but it made me realize that I don't need the
newest things out there.  

I don't care about fashion because being "in" is showing how low people can be and
labeling them as trash, ugly, poor and worse. Fashion is harmful to a society and there
is so much more around us. The sad thing is that most of the world is too blind to see
it.
 People think fashion is so important because they always want to look good.

 Why do people always think fashion is so important? Well that is my question to you!
Why is it so important? Why do you have to ooh good for people to like you? Some
people in this world think that life is all about fashion! Well its not! Soot all you losers
out there who think fashion is the best things in life.. Well stop thinking that. If you
don't stop thinking that then you will grow up to have no friends and will have the
worst life ever. So I came here to say fashion is not everything in life. So if your one of
those people think about al the other important things in life before you go to a party or
get dressed up.

 I believe fashion is harmful to society.

Many things that are considered fashionable are ruining society. Whether it be the way
they are wearing their clothes or what. There are also other issues that fall into this
category television shows and radio. What is acceptable and what isn't? It is all a very
thin line but all of it is becoming our undoing.

 Fashion is not harmful to society as it simply personifies freedom

Fashion allows people to express themselves in an individual way. It provides diversity

in society which can only be a healthy thing. It shows that people have freedom and
therefore allows them to relax and feel comfortable for who they are. Overall it makes
for happier individuals which results in a more prosperous society.

 Fashion is the reason so many people are up to their neck in credit card debt.

 How many times do you go to a department store and not get asked by the cashier if
you want a charge card for that store. The answer is almost never. Not only will the
store charge you 1000Rs for that pair of jeans, they will let you pay more than that if
you don't want to pay for it all right now. Fashion is the biggest scam in consumer
product because their products are never worth what you have to pay to be
fashionable.

 Young girls are trying to emulate celebrities/models and can't differentiate

the celebrity's "public persona" wardrobe from their everyday "at-home" wardrobe.

 Young girls look to celebrities and/or models when trying to figure out fashion. They
see what is dished out to them from the media or from in-person events. They don't
understand that much of what celebrities wear is worn specifically for the publicity.
Some even for shock value just to get into the forefront of the public eye. They see
models with unrealistic body shapes and think that to be beautiful and successful they
 too have to be unhealthily thin. They don't know how many models are throwing up the
only calories their bodies receive on a daily basis. Girls are so obsessed with being
popular. They aren't even getting the chance to figure out for themselves the stupidity
of celebrities who spend a good sum of money walking in 9" stilettos or shoes without
heels all for the sake of publicity. It is obvious that the celebrity is just hiding behind
the same insecurity that the little girls have about being accepted and loved for who
they are. For the record, people with real talent do not need to hide behind the facade
of fashion absurdity.

 I feel that fashion is harmful to society, because it promotes a culture that is

based solely on appearance.

 The fashion industry encourages an unrealistic outlook for men and women in regards
to their bodies and their looks. Women and men have gone to great extremes to mold
their bodies into what the fashion world has decided is "perfect", often disregarding
their health and well-being, just to look like the air-brushed, rail-thin models that the
industry has deemed beautiful.

 Fashion is definitely harmful to society, because it inspires people to make

potentially harmful lifestyle choices.

Societal problems, such as anorexia and teen violence, are exemplary as to why fashion
can actually be harmful. The media pushes the idea of beauty, as it is associated with
apparently emaciated super models and punks wearing baggy pants and chains. Our
children try to emulate what they are seeing on television. Some restrict their eating to
the point that their health suffers, and others steal and even resort to violence to obtain
clothes that look like those their television heroes wear.
 Fashion is art.
 "Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It's movement, design and architecture all in
one. It shows the world who we are and who we'd like to be." High fashion is a form of
art, designers spend a lot of time and creativity on the garments that they show season
after season. Besides it is a way to express yourself, you can show the kind of person
that you are, that you aren't, what you like or what you don't, all just with a simple
accessory or piece. Summing it up, fashion is a daily way to embrace art and express
who you are or who you want to be.

 Fashion is not harmful to society.

 I do not believe that fashion is harmful to society. I think that fashion increases and
benefits society. If everyone was wearing the same thing it would be a very boring
society. Fashion as far as clothes stimulates society. Also it stimulates society via
television.

 Fashion shows a persons creativity.

  Fashion shows what type of person someone is, and without that kids are the same as
everyone else. They don't have something that shows what they are like, and if a kid is
the same as everyone else, it can dull their life by about 60%. The kids don't feel
unique anymore, and that is not good. Feeling special is one of the most important part
of a kids life.

 Because all the people have the right to wear different kinds of fashionable
clothes.

 It is very stylish and comfortable to wear. Men tend to be liked more by women when
they are well groomed. A person having a personal style that is unique, fashion can
give a person more confidence. When people are well dressed it can cause people to
respect them more. People wear fashionable clothes to appear more beautiful and
respectful.

 Fashion is walking art, it inspires to not only to express yourself but also your
culture and identity.

 Fashion designers search for inspiration from cultures, different eras, cities and nature.
Not to harm someones self image but to create something beautiful for everyone to feel
beautiful in. Fashion advertisement is not meant to damage your self esteem or have
everyone try to mold their bodies and minds into what society feels is "perfect." It
simply shows that if you buy this line of clothing this is how beautiful you will feel. Not
"this is the only image that can be beautiful." Fashion has been around even before we
had sewing machines. It expresses our identity and culture by showing our own
combination of walking art. Designers, workers etc. make the clothes off of their own
inspiration, and our imagination makes the rest. Fashion is not harmful to society it is
keeping us intuned to history, culture, and ourselves.

 Fashion, in and of itself, is not harmful to society, but the emphasis placed on
it is.
 Fashion can be a great thing; however, the way that it has been exploited as
being very important, especially in the lives of young women, has really began to
destroy women's self confidence. Fashion also begins to leak into what women believe
about themselves as their self image. Fashion cannot be the focal point of women's
attention, otherwise it will continue to damage self estemation

 Fashion is showing people new ideas and, as such, can not be dangerous to
society.

 Fashion is something new and, thus, brings new and creative idea to people's lives. It
enriches them, and makes their lives more interesting. Without fashion, we would be
 stuck into dull and boring behaviors. However, excessive obsessing about fashion is not
healthy, just like any other kind of obsession.

 I don't see fashion as harmful to society at all, as it merely sets a standard

that people may emulate if they want to.

 Fashion is not ever going anywhere, so even the question is a bit preposterous. But,
fashion is a vital big business. It provides jobs and a certain sense of enjoyment of life
for millions of people. Therein, it should be left alone. Besides, how could one ever
enforce anti-fashion initiatives in a free society?

 No, fashion is not harmful to society because it is the main driving before
behind the clothing industry.

 Without fashion there would be very little reason for companies to invest money into
research and development of newer and better fabrics, styles and blends of clothing.
Yes fashion can cause a lot of stress and place a lot of expectations on people to dress
a certain way, but those same problems would exist in other forms like owning the best
car or the most expensive cell phone if fashion did not exist. Without fashion however
we would all probably be wearing cured animal skin loin clothes or burlap sacks, as
there would be little to no corporate interest into researching better materials when
those serve their function.

 Fashion is not harmful to society, as it is a form of art, and art benefits

society.

 Fashion is not harmful to society, because it is an art form. It is generally agreed that
art benefits society as a whole, though there is some question as to how strong the
benefits are. Fashion is a form of self-expression, like art. And as in art, there is no real
measure of what is "good", because "goodness" is determined only by current aesthetic
values. And also like in art, often what has previously been considered "bad" will
become the next great style. Clearly fashion is an art, and since art benefits society,
fashion must as well.
