What is Fashion?

What is fashion, a question that my group pondered for our visual essay. Really, I am not very sure what it is... There is so many things fashion can be determined as. However, I chose to take the path that fashion is cyclical consumption. Really, the topic I chose are trends that come in and out, whether it is a movie such as Valkyrie;
whether it is a clothing style such as the 50's style of Marilyn Monroe, fashion i
s something that can gain a dictionary definition, but is very hard to determine under one particular topic. I feel fashion is a very general term that is mainly used in regards to clothing, because it has been labelled as fashion. This, however, is just the designers giving the
 consumer an idea of what is in fashion in clothing, whilst i think if there was a fashion week for things ranging for technology to hair cuts i think fashion would be seen as a more widely used term than just in regards to clothing.
