fashion,because fashion trends is changing is just a short period of time looking back to
the old fashion trends can show you some history of that time. Sighting some old
fashioned clothes can help you recap the look of places 30,40 or even 100 years ago. -

 Celebrities, musicians, and well known individuals are the one who
influenced the fashion trends. Popular fashion trends are frequently used again and
again. Therefore it gives a sign that even decades already past people can still revise it
and apply it in this modern taste of fashion. Fashion designers, writers, photographers
and bloggers, are commonly using this past trends in fashion as their basis to predict
the next possible popular style that may be discover or use, but this is just a prediction
and not the exact knowledge. This trend prediction, however, is based on sure
possibility of instinction. Fashion trends that were commonly used decades ago are
more universal and broad compared to the modern trends of fashion. Nowadays the
personality and identity of a person is the real reason of their own fashion. –
