does media set our wardrobe?well thats the question i always ask myself because we live in a world where by we are so exposed to the media ,very often we see adverts ,megazines like YOU and drum megazines that always inlude a clothing section,complete fashion megazine that olny deals with fashion www.glomour.com\fshion\spring-2013-com ,and even fashion events like the south african fashion week where new fashion trends are being exposed to us as viewers,well it does not only end there because we still find some radio programmes and t.v programmes that have topics on "what to wear this spring or this winter" ,metro fm is one of the radio stations that mainly focuses on fashion trends because i sometimes listen to the azania show that starts from 9am to 10am on week days and you always find a fashion designer being called to advise and give poeple tips on what to wear or rather on what its in or out in terms of fashion and this also goes along with tips on how to use your makeup .
although we still find some websiets that helps peolple to dress acording their custom clothing www.spreadshit\custom-clothing .com,but i still think that media has more power on telling people how they should look.
TYPES OF FASHION TRENDS THAT ARE BROUGHT
AND CHANGED BY THE MEDIA

let's take fashion trends like colour blocking and vintage ,colour blocking was exposed through clothing adverts,megazines ,and on fashion events and you could find it on any store that you could go to in 2011 but one could no longer wear that because of the agenda that has been set in the media to it as being "so 2011" ,then vintage came in and people had to move from colour blocking to vintage now this shows that media sets the agenda for us in terms of fashion although it does not directly tell us that "this is what you need to wear" but we all know that people tend to do things that are showen in the media.
