trends • Most of the clothes that are on the runway are black and or white or are really bright colors in dresses or skirts. Something the designer tries to do is add on a jacket and or blazer. The runway is a lot more different than what you would see on a daily basis such as school and or just in the street. The runway is more fashionable and elegant with unique clothes shoes and accessories, the makeup is something that goes along with the show and you wouldn’t really see outside of it. At school people boys and girls dress in mostly jeans and a t-short unless you’re into fashion then girls actually wear heels and cute clothes but its different from a runway because of the brands and how we decide to style our clothing and put it together in our own way.
