I ask my classmates about what they think of fashion. Here are some of their answers.
Sarah Brady
I am interested in fashion. I enjoy reading fashion books and going to clothes shops. But I seldom buy fashionable clothes. They are too expensive. I have two or three silk dresses and I often wear them to go for a party. But most of the time I wear jeans and a T-shirt. My sister Jenny and I often borrow each other's clothes. In this way we can both wear something new but without spending too much.
Mary Wilson
Fashion isn't for me. I don't care about fashion and models. I usually wear comfortable clothes, like jeans, T-shirts and sports shoes. Most of my friends wear the same kind of clothes. We seldom talk about famous models. We talk about music a lot.
Kate Freeman
Fashion is important because it says something about your personality(个性). I am a lovely girl and I wear my clothes to reflect this. Usually I buy some cheap clothes and then change them at home. I like designing my own clothes.
