How about we introduce this blog by presenting various definitions of fashion? There are two reasons for this: 1) this is a Very Important Blog about fashion and it follows that before we write anything about it, we should at least know how some Very Important/Smart People have defined fashion; and 2) we have absolutely no idea what to write about right now.

Thus, without much ado, we now present our first ever post…‘Definitions of Fashion’.
