Other fashion designers have influenced fashion, and are possibly iconic as well.

While the fashion industry continues to introduce us to new styles every season, the industry would not be where it is today without the help of influential fashion icons.  The good news is that every once in a while a new icon joins the list.  Each generation appears to have their own favorites.  Apparel Search believes that will be the case for decades and generations to come.  A fashion icon is important to their period of time and beyond.

A fashion icon is capable of changing fashion trends.  Yes, they are that influential.

Can a fashion icon be built?  We read on a website, "Fashion icons are diverse and unique, so it is important to be authentic as possible when developing your personal style. Becoming an icon takes hard work, passion, and patience, so never give up during the process."   Apparel Search does not necessarily agree with their statement.  If someone is working toward becoming a fashion icon, they may not truly be an icon.  In our opinion, part of the allure is the natural evolution for someone to become a true fashion icon.  A fashion icon is a "natural".  They do not need to work at developing a personal style.  It is already within them.

We hope this summary of fashion section has been of help to you.
