FASHION ORIENTATION FASHION ADOPTION THEORY Introduction Fashion involves change, novelty, and the context of time, place, and wearer. Blumer (1969) describes fashion influence as a process of “collective selection” whereby the formation of taste derives from a group of people responding collectively to the Zeitgeist or “spirit of the times.” The simultaneous introduction and display of many new styles, the selections made by the innovative consumer, and the notion of the expression of the spirit of the times provide impetus for fashion. Central to any definition of fashion is the relationship between the designed product and how it is distributed and consumed. Fashion products are valued by consumers for their style to an extent that surpasses the item’s ability to meet basic physiological needs. Fashions fulfill social and psychological needs rather than consumers’ primary physiological needs of warmth, protection, and comfort.

Diversity plays a key role in the world today, from the fashion industry to the world of politics, diversity is wanted as much as needed. An assortment of people, things, ideas or cultures can help to spread new thoughts and implementation of ideals. I plan to aid in fixing this problem by opening myself up to more diverse things and situations. Diversity comes in countless shapes, sizes and languages, and by opening myself up to these new things it may evoke others to do so.
