Trendsetters of the Times

From decades past, celebrities have been the ones who have defined what is fashionable. Yet it looks
like times are changing, and the ones of the silver screen and the red carpet are no longer responsible for
influencing the style of the masses. So who is left with the responsibility of setting the trends? Who are the
ones being gifted the hottest and newest designs by the most coveted designers around? It is the one
5 behind the computer, the one who spends his or her days scouring the Internet for the latest and greatest

in the world of fashion. The role of a trendsetter is now placed in the hands of all the hard-working
fashion bloggers out there.
Whether you follow Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast through her exquisite adventures from San Diego to
Tokyo, check the computer daily to see the most recent look worn by Shea Marie from CHEYENNE meets
10 CHANEL, or follow closely what it is like to be a fashion icon in Europe when viewing the daily musings of

Chiara Ferragni from the Blonde Salad – it is no doubt you have a favorite fashion blogger.
The three listed are my personal favorites and have found permanent residency on my bookmark bar, yet
there is also quite a handful of others that continue to provide me with endless amounts of inspiration.
Fashion is always changing, as are its influencers. Yesterday it was Paris Hilton and her chihuahua,
15 and today it is the girl sitting next to you typing away feverishly on her laptop. As a fashion blogger, it is an

honor to be a part of such an evolving industry, and I can only anticipate what the world of fashion has to
bring us in the future.

Now write an entry to a fashion blog discussing the relevance of fashion and trends in the lives of teenagers.
Write about 150-180 words. You may use the input provided by Activities A and B.

Welcome to our fashion blog. Feel free to take advantage of all the ideas we have prepared
for you. Style is something personal, something that only you have. Sure, you can be inspired by
magazines, fashion blogs or designers, but all that matters is how you choose to be, the attitude
you approach. Adolescence is known as a phase of change. More than that, it is also a period of
identity constructions and the beginning of the maturation process. The image becomes very
important for teenagers and is often fundamental in everyday life. The way of dressing reflects a
little on tastes and personality, which is crucial when boys and girls at this stage are accepted by
a group.
On the days when we are full of ideas we decided to bring some tips for you to this blog. We
follow several blogs to bring you several variants, the way they choose to make creative looks,
how they associate certain places with looks, wow photos on instagram, but also the strong
relationship they have built with their readers.
