Why is fashion not important....i have to do an MLA research on why is fashion important and i want to know why some people dont think its important. can you guys give me your opinions or a website?

It's interesting that you've asked/been asked simply about the importance of fashion because if you really strip it down the answer is very plainly obvious... It is totally unimportant in almost every respect. Nobody has any true need for many articles of clothing designed to be fashionable unless you count vanity and aesthetics as a reason. Until very recently in human history the function of clothing was not to look good but was to protect you, keep you warm and make living easier. In my opinion the fashion industry is a vapid, vacuous and a genuine waste of time that serves only to place an observable barrier between various echelons of society, a barrier that we should have grown beyond by now.

As I don't mean to be unhelpful prehaps that is the aspect of the question you could focus on, how has fashion become so instrumental in defining the barrier between classes and how what may be seen as fashionable for one social group may be seen as unfashionable to another. Prehaps you could mention the differences between the clothing of nobles and peasantry in throughout history (e.g. Royalty and their subjects during the renaissance) or how native tribes in both our ancient history and present day have specific traditional tribal dress that denote an individuals importance in the tribe. Essentially, try to explore the psychological/sociological link between fashion and social status.

Hope this helps!

P.S. People who bang on and on about how they "make their own style" and "just wear whatever they feel like" are still most likely slaves to a trend and don't have the wherewithal to realise it. If a person dresses in a way that they consciously or subconsciously believe will invoke an emotional response in others be that admiration, approval or even distaste then they are just as much a part of the ideal of fashion as someone who boldly shows off designer merchandise. You can observe this very easily in that people who would openly seen to snub fashion will often dress in a way similar to friends and vice versa. The least fashionable way for a person to dress would be to dress totally practically for whatever they were planning to do and wear only things that would aid them. However (especially in modern society) even practical clothing is linked to the ideology of fashion.
