For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes
are in fashion?" And they use the adjective "fashionable" in the same way: "She was wearing a fashionable
color. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in
restaurants, in films, books and Internet. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see
that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson's in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly
than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to
another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
