cultural effect

every country, culture, clique and person has its own unique and telling style. not just with clothing either--but with everything. fashion can comprehend all components of a lifestyle--hell fashion is a lifestyle. and that includes all things colorful: food, clothes, scents, shoes, bags, nail color, hair color, cars, phones, cameras, etc. 

fashion is a culture in itself, but every source of fashion has its influence on its surroundings. being in central new york, i have noticed that even as isolated as syracuse might seem--it really isn't. there are so many different people here from different parts of the world and country, and each individual person has a unique perspective on style and fashion. now, i know i will walk down the street sometimes and notice something that a person is wearing that i never would have thought to add to my wardrobe. thus springs an idea to my head, and i think of how i might add a similar touch to my own style. 

everyone affects everyone. so, i'd like to take a look at how different cultures, peoples, and styles influence the lonely, but not-so-lonely, city of syracuse. 

take for example, the harajuku lovers fragrance line by gwen stefani. she isn't from japan, 

but still the style has influenced her--and with her new line she is spreading this effect. the fragrance is bottled in cute japanese looking dolls that are colorful and fun, and each has its own personality.
