Week 12- Fashion (B)
Our Journal – Fashion Around the World

Fashion: A Universal Language
Fashion is a way to express who we are. Around the world, people use clothing to show personality, culture, and even history. Some styles are unique to a country, while others are popular everywhere. Fashion changes with time, but it always helps people feel confident and creative.
Japanese street fashion, for example, is colorful and creative, while American fashion often focuses on comfort and trends. Both styles influence each other, creating new ideas in the fashion world. No matter where we are from, the clothes we wear help tell our story.
