FASHION FAUX PAS
FOCUS QUESTION OUTLINE
For my research report, I have chosen to research the evolution of society’s fashion on the adolescent girl. Through the rising of hemlines and revealing garments, to discover how it has impacted on forming an adolescent girl’s own self of identity. I believe fashion is an everyday movement and an express of art; a way of showing your feeling and emotions without a sense of smile or frown.
This topic researches the processes of socialisation and the development of personality, identity and the social self through the eyes of fashion. It also demonstrates the fundamental concepts of time, society and persons. Influences through media on adolescent girls have significantly increased to what a female should wear and should not. This has impacted on shaping an adolescent girl’s personality to her social groups and environment. Therefore the question I have chosen to research is: “Overtime, how have fashion choices changed for adolescent girls and what impact does it have on their identity formation?”
