•   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]Some young people have money and they spend quite a lot of it on clothes. They like wearing smart clothes, loafers, tight fi tting sportswear. They like riding scooters. Their hair is well groomed and they have regular haircuts.

•   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]But there are more and more people who like wearing comfortable clothes. They are more in touch with the natural world. They think that today’s world revolves too much around money.

•   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]Yes. Fashion and music have always been connected. Let’s say heavy metal is associated with leather jackets, long hair, tattoos, powerful motorbikes. While Punk was famous for a lot of strange accessories like chains, safety pins, and of course spiky hair, Rap goes together with baggy clothes.

•   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]Well, I’d say a person’s style depends on the imagination, not that much on money. I really believe in creating a style that doesn’t cost much. Fashion should be more on the artistic side. Today it is still a big business.
