F ashion has direction of change which is also called the theories of fashion. Fashion shows a movement from different social classes of  the society.

From Window to the Aisle Seat Travelling could be fun, Travelling could be hectic, Travelling could be boring, Travelling could be enlightening,                  Travelling could be a jukebox of everything regardless of where you are travelling to or how far you are travelling to!

I nodded like I knew Dashiki from school (With "Ohhh Dashiki !!! My 8th Grade classmate" walla expression on my face) . On my way back home I surfed on...
