Daniela1: I have been living in Paris, the fashion capital. It is an amazing City, with an amazing touristic places and fashion lovers everywhere. I love it!

Daniela2: Great! But the fashion style in Paris is similar to fashion in Colombia?

Daniela1: No, actually, it’s very different because the lifestyle is very different. For example in Paris is very common to wear jackets and coats, because with the season, especially with the winter, people need to be warm.

Daniela2: Oh, I understand. The fashion depends of many things like a site, culture, personality and the era.

Daniela1: That is true. For example with the years, the people have changed their style because it has changed their manners and their life style.

Daniela2: yes, In line with progress in other areas, clothing developed closer relationships with art, and an increased sense of freedom was expressed in simple yet elegant designs, with carefully selected fabrics, and an intelligent use of color.

Daniela1: Yes, for example in 1920’s dresses were lighter, brighter and shorter than ever before. Fashion designers played with fabric colors, textures and patterns to create totally new styles of dress.

Daniela2: you’re right, if the progress of that time had not been so strong, the people, especially women, have never changed their dress looks

Daniela1: And in the olden times, fashion was regarded as the possession for the high class people who party every day. But, as time and thinking of people have changed, the view about fashion also changed.

Daniela2. Yes! For example in modern times, some teenagers wear a very strange clothes, and that is related with modern tendencies, with the music and the consumerism culture, the women wear very short dresses and skirts, I wish they was more demure and conservative.

Daniela1: You’re right. But also the music is very important in our fashion and life style. For example, in 1980’s was very common the strong colors with the disco fever

Daniela2: The people used to enjoy the music, to go out with their friends and to dance a lot.

Daniela1: Yes, the 80’s was a wonderful time. I wish these times came back.

Daniela2: yes! Is true that the fashion expressed many times, our personality, our manners, our culture also our feelings, but we can judge the people for their appearance.

Daniela1: yes Dani, the fashion is beautiful, funny and important for us, but it isn’t all.
