Fashion Industry and Dress Code in School
In
the an era of global trade,
the fashion industry that range
s from high-end luxury brands to fast-fashion retailers—and the thousand of companies in between that produce and sell fashion products[1] play
s a role in dictating to almost everyone what they’re going to wear. In other words, nowadays,
the fashion industry has a great effect on everyone’s aesthetic lives. In modern China, a rapidly changing country on the planet,
the fashion industry has already built
its mature and firm business chain
s in there, and it’s shaping the look of Chinese people especially the young generation. However,
the fashion industry seems
to have lost loose its power in the area of school
uniforms in China.
In Mainland China, as I know nearly all schools(except kindergartens or colleges) require uniforms. Also, the regulation of uniform
s is made by the leaders of school rather
than by the fashion industry. A student who trim
s his or her uniform according to the latest trends of fashion will be punished for the behavior because he or she has broken the
regulation of school
dess code. When I was a middle school student,
the skinny trousers were quite popular among teens at that time. So, some of my schoolmates would like to trim their straight trousers
namely uniform into skinny trousers. Then, my school declared that the teachers of Discipline Inspection Department would cut out the skinny trousers with scissors on the spot if the teachers
find out discovered any student
dresses wearing a pair of skinny trousers at school. Obviously, school has set
a strict
restriction regulations on
the uniform
s. Therefore, most Chinese students have to wear the same uniform at school instead of showing their personality through the way they dress. So, the concepts of
the fashion industry hardly have an influence on
school dress code
s of school.
