5 - It's Not Fashion, It's Fasyon!




Fashion has always been a huge aspect to Filipino families. Gone are the days when families have new clothes every Christmas. Now, people buy clothes as often as they buy food. Well, that’s what we have noticed. Now, a piece of clothing is not seen as something used to cover ourselves up or protect us or whatsoever, it is now seen as a statement, something to show our personalities. Parents buy their kids clothes and make them as fashionable and sometimes rip the looks from fashion magazines and what not. Filipinos has now been westernized and materialistic. They all want their kids, or them perhaps, to look a certain way. Fashion is seen as power. Even though poverty is a major problem in this country, no one can stop Filipino families from looking good.
