Many would be-fashion victims would ask the question: “How does celebrity influence on fashion affect our behavior?” It is indeed a fascinating question because many people are deeply affected by what they see on TV, in the movies and the news. Fashion is no exception to this rule. Indeed it can affect and dictate human behaviors.
Take, for example, the case of Lady Gaga, who is the current leader of the popular pop group “The Red Hot Chili Peppers”. One could say that she inspires people to dress in revealing clothing and go to parties in skimpy clothing. While Lady Gaga is certainly an extreme example, it is certainly a popular view among many people who see what they see on TV or in the videos. If the TV programs or movies you watch do not depict women as being sexy, there is a good chance that your view of fashion is influenced by what you see on TV and movies.
Thus, it is important to understand the ways in which celebrity influence on fashion trends may negatively impact the way we think about fashion. We need to become consciously aware of how our choices of clothing and behavior are shaped by these celebrities. The next time you are watching a TV program or movie and observe women wearing revealing clothing or scantily-clad men in bikinis, think about the impact these images have on you. How can you, as a consumer, avoid the influence and impact?
