How does one define, and consequently limit, fashion? From the highlighted tips of one's hair to the pointy tips of one's shoes and beyond, the fashion and style of the youth is an ever-changing, ever-evolving phenomenon. You can't stop fashion.

Fashion also seeps beyond boundaries and into cultures. Remember the hoodie panjabis a few years ago? I was not entertained but there was surely a market for it. Similarly, fashion is a statement; an opinion. It's part of who you are and what you want to be. My nephew loves his Spiderman T-shirt because, well, he's three years old and wants to be a superhero. Who am I to stand in his way?

It is all the rage, all the time. And when we find the topic of fashion pop up in conversations on the environment, gender roles, self-expression, lifestyle, education and more, we realise how universal it truly is.

This week, on print and on the website, we're talking everything fashion. Get ready.
