However, almost everyone can reach the fashion if someone loves fashion nowadays.  What is happening in the fashion world? Why almost everyone can actually catch the fashion?
In these recent years, fashion industry is more competitive and diversified than before. There are a variety of designer, fast fashion etc. brands appareled to market. In order to keep and explore the market, different brands started to adjust their brand image.
For example, Givenchy is a French high-ended couture designer brand. It used to design haute couture to celebrities, politicians, royalties etc. Since Riccardo Tisci became the head designer in Givenchy, Givenchy had another new face to everyone. Tisci not only brought new blood to Givenchy, but also create the Givenchy’s street style’s clothing line.
