A fashion statement is when someone wears an outfit or item of clothing that stands out and captures attention. It can convey a new trend, be a political or social statement, or simply include a phrase or sentence on clothing. Celebrities often make fashion statements, such as Madonna’s cone-shaped bra, while others may wear clothes made from recycled materials or with a specific message.
A fashion statement is an event during which a person or group of people wear a specific item of clothing or an entire outfit that somehow stands out and captures the attention of the onlookers. For example, a very new trend in fashion that has not yet caught on may be called a “fashion statement” when worn in public. It’s common for a fashion statement to convey a new trend or fly in the face of current fashion trends.
It is quite common for celebrities to make fashion statements with their clothing. When Dennis Rodman showed up to an event scheduled to support his autobiography while wearing a wedding dress, he was making quite the impactful fashion statement. Madonna, who is said to have been in a relationship with Dennis Rodman, has made quite a few fashion statements. A notable Madonna fashion statement was the cone-shaped bra attached to a corset that she wore during her Blonde Ambition tour in the early 1990s.
In addition to simply wearing unusual or shocking clothing, a fashion statement can also be a political statement or represent the wearer’s feelings on a certain social issue. In fact, many of these types of fashion statements are much more understated than the examples above. Someone who cares a lot about the environment might, for example, prefer to wear clothes made from recycled material. A person who prefers not to use animal products can wear belts, shoes, and carry bags or backpacks made of leather. Although these types of fashion choices may not be as shocking as a famous basketball player making a public appearance in a blonde wig and white wedding dress, they are nevertheless fashion statements.
One of the clearest fashion statements is one in which a person simply wears an item of clothing that includes a phrase or sentence that specifically defines feelings about a certain social or political issue. These statements are most commonly used on the front of t-shirts, but can also be used on the back of t-shirts, hoodies, or jackets. Such statements are made by celebrities and people who live outside of the public eye. Musician Sheryl Crow, for example, wore a T-shirt with the words “War Is Not The Answer” emblazoned in black sequins at an American Music Awards ceremony in response to the war in Iraq.
