Fashion Vs Fashionable


A made man, also known as a wise guy, made guy, man of honor, is someone who has been officially inducted into the Mafia. In order to become a made member of the Mafia, the inductee had to be a male of full Italian or Sicilian descent. That was long before Guccio Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani, Fendi, Missoni, started with what’s now called a “Fashion Mafia”. From the streets of Brooklyn, to the slums of India, now anyone can become a Made Man, but usually that comes with a price tag.
Fashion is a statement, being fashionable is the icing on the cake. It’s a certainty that one point in time everyone would have had the chance of seeing a fashion show, live or maybe on a TV, strictly not the point. Ever wondered who those dresses are made for? Ever seen those dresses worn on the streets? That’s why I said “fashion is a statement”, it’s all about catching your eye. Fashionable on the other hand is simply making that statement, with anything as long as it compliments ones own self. So yes fashion and fashionable are the opposite ends of the same string. So what would it be? What would you prefer? Being a statement or making a statement?
