12. Fashion Is Only for the Runway
The belief that fashion belongs exclusively to the runway is outdated. Today, style is accessible and deeply personal, thriving in communities, on social media, and across city streets. Street style, upcycling, and DIY trends empower individuals to create unique looks outside high fashion circles. Everyday people are now trendsetters, influencing designers and brands with their creativity and authenticity. This democratization of style proves that fashion is for everyone, not just industry insiders.
