So, we were set a task of producing 5 blogs for our course, all having to be linked in some sort of way;I decided to focus on celebrity culture and its effect on fashion. This is my first, Enjoy.....




Why is everyone so interested in looking like their favourite celebrity?

Celebrity culture has risen rapidly in the 21st century, wiht the development of celeb mags, all offering a voyeuristic view into what goes on behind closed doors; arguements, affairs and addiction. And its because of this we, the readers, think we know these often out of reach people, making judgements as to whether we like them or not....but maybe 'like' is the wrong word? 'Obsession' seems to be more apt.


Websites such as asos.com (As Seen On Screen) makes it possible for avergage Joe to get an exact replica of that dress Nicole Richie wore to KFC; but considerably cheaper. With all the products 'in the style of...' its no surprise since its launch in 2000, asos has seen its sales rocket - more that doubling since last year!

Proven popular and evidently successful, does this mean that edgy individual style has been lost in the celeb frenzy?!
