Determining the Definition of Style

Style is an important aspect of a person’s dressing. Style is generally the prevailing style in a society at a particular time. Fashion generally refers to cultural patterns: It includes popular modes of dressing during a particular era. The major part of fashion industry is dealing with the current, popular styles of the time. The style of clothes reflects on the class of a society, which can be seen from various places such as fashion shows and celebrity magazines.

Style

The style of clothing depends on the society in which it lives. In certain societies the people follow certain styles, which are considered to be a style. When it comes to men, they generally wear a suit, whereas women usually wear trousers or skirts. In some societies like in China, Japan, Korea and others the men and women usually dress differently. Fashion is basically the branch of art that is concerned with presenting people who are beautiful, fashionable, elegant, bold, or sexy in a particular kind of manner.

A style can be described as an ornamentation that varies significantly from its neighbors. Different styles may include rocker, hip hop, jazz, punk, and a number of other styles. A new style is always being developed. As a matter of fact, the definition of a style continues to change because new styles are developed along with different trends in the fashion industry. Different people have different personalities, which adds to the diversity of the latest trends.

Design Thinking – Does It Make Sense?

A design is typically a detailed description or model for the construction of a structure or system, or even for the implementation of some activity or procedure, or the end product of that model, product or procedure. The word ‘design’ itself therefore denotes both a process and a design, and refers to the output of the process or design. The verb ‘design’ then denotes that actual production of a physical object bears the result of the model or simulation. ‘Implementing’ also connotes the production of something, and ‘to implement’ is to bring into being things which are actually in existence. The combined definition of ‘design’ and ‘implementing’ thus provides us with three distinctively different usage of the term ‘design’.

Design

It has been argued by many authors that the best definition of design is ‘an effort to derive a new design from existing knowledge.’ This approach, however, presents many problems. First of all, as noted above, one of the major purposes of designing is to derive new knowledge and to do so in such a way as to be relevant and useful. By stipulating that creativity is not the only purpose of designing, we therefore have no choice but to include within the definition of the term, other possible purposes, such as providing for improved usability or finding applications for which it is difficult to find a practical application.

The third possibility, that of applying knowledge in a particular context, seems to imply that the purpose of designing is to apply it in a particular context. In fact, this may be true of almost any creative endeavor, and especially so if the end goal is to provide solutions or make the world a better place in some measurable way. Design thinking therefore is more than mere generic research; it involves problem solving and application. Thus, it is useful for understanding human needs, and its ability to create order out of chaos.
