Fashion is popularity, the dominance of a particular taste or style in a particular area. For example, in the field of sewing ready-made clothes. Fashion is transitory, that is, it tends to change. Down jackets with luminous stripes are in fashion today. And tomorrow the fashion changes, quilted coats with goth patterns and curls become fashionable.
For example, in some season, the classic style of clothing is popular among the population. Snow-white collars, strict features of suits, glossy black skirts, clarity and neatness in everything! And the other season already presents a fantasy or romantic style. Here, on the streets of cities, wide skirts with lace and ruffles, transparent sleeves of blouses are massively fluttering in the wind. The gaze stops at embroidered corsets and the same embroidered jackets, weird hats, multi-colored shawls with tassels.
Fashion exists every day, there is festive. For example, it is fashionable to wear colored shirts for every day. For a holiday, it is fashionable to wear short black dresses with open shoulders on thin spaghetti straps.
The Style is somewhat different. This is not a fashion. Style is a certain accent, an image that suits a person's taste. Style is expressed in clothing, shoes, furniture, home furnishings, architecture of buildings and other structures. And there are many other ways that style can be expressed. Stylish does not mean fashionable. Although both words are often said as a compliment to a person. For example, "You are so stylish!"
In the modern world, both fashion and style are diverse. Like the world itself, they are full of masses of interesting events and manifestations. How many styles are there now in just one furniture design? And only recognized styles? Ten? Fifty? It seems to me that with all styles and will be at least a hundred!
London is the most beautiful and historical city in the United Kingdom. I have always been obsessed with London since I was just a teenager. I used to imagine walking down to its streets to witness the architectural and historical beauty of this city. It has a quite rich British culture which it has kept preserved for so many years. I felt the need to explore it but didn’t know from where I should start. So, I shortlisted a few places out of all of its amazing and historical places because of the exceptional aspects they have.
I started from ‘Museum of London’ about which I knew a little before as well. I had an idea that it is a charitable institution which is funded by a lot of organizations. But after visiting it, I came to know what stunning and architectural masterpiece it actually is. It holds a huge history of British culture. It will show you off London in different ages and time eras, from the prehistory time to today modern times with its legendary exhibitions. Furthermore, it has a collection of up to 1 million objects to show to the world. If you really want to know more about the history of London, the Museum of London is a must-visit for you.
After that, I visited “Big Ben”, the longest Tower of London which has a height of 320 feet. It has been the Palace of Westminster previously. It has four clocks which are facing each other across 23 feet. Not only that, but it is undoubtedly a distinct central point of parliament which looks even more exuberant when the sunlight turns its structure into golden relief. It is basically famous for its massive bell which weighs more than 13 tonnes. There are different theories present based on its name and history. However, it was renamed as Elizabeth tower on June 2012 in remembrance and honor of Queen Elizabeth.
Tower Bridge in London is another stunning place which was first opened in 1894. People around the world know it for its Gothic style and pale blue lines. If you are lucky enough, when you visit this place, the bridge will be open for the ship to pass. That moment, you can have a look at its advanced mechanics and architecture. Tower Bridge exhibitions are usually arranged to display films and photos to explain how it was built. It is said that it took eight years of efforts by major contractors and labors to build the Tower Bridge. Two massive pillars got sunk into the river in order to support the construction. And over 11,000 tons of steel was used to prepare its walkways. The use of rare Portland stones was to give it a more unique and exuberant appearance.
The next day I decided to pay a visit to another historical place which was the Brunel Museum. It has more Brunel family projects than any other country in this world. River Thames has also been one of its latest projects. If you personally pay a visit to it, you would know why it took 18 years and costs of many lives to get built. You can also get into its shaft to see how it served the tunnel. Its history is a really fascinating part of its whole construction which tells about the conditions in which the workers worked to construct it more than 185 years ago. It consists of a gift shop from where you can buy books regarding its history and enjoy reading it while sitting in a café. The café serves delicious afternoon tea, light bites, and a lot of English and Turkish food.
If you are a shopaholic and want to get the best of the best things which are nowhere else to be found, go to Top shop flagship store. It was founded in 1964 and since then it has been a fashion brand for the youth. Its first independent shop was, however, opened in 1970. After which, a brand for men also came into existence named as “Top man”. It is more like a small city which consists of everything from shopping outlets, wig-fitting, and tattooing to ‘print your own pattern facilities. I can bet that there is nothing which you won’t be able to find from here. So start roaming around its basement all the way up to the accessories, where you can also get cold juices and cupcakes to get the fuel for your well-spent day.
Since I am too much into arts & crafts, my next stop was Greenwich Market. It has a strong association with the royal time period. It was a birthplace for Henry, Mary, and Elizabeth. Today, it gives preference to the traders who want to manufacture their own products. You will find all the new and fresh products there. You can’t think about buying something a week later or so because the manufacturers keep refreshing their collections and stalls. On weekends, there are a huge number of arts & crafts, and food stalls. I also found different food styles there which included Spanish, Mexican, Ethiopian, and so many more. I also got a chance to eat chocolate smothered fruits and freshly baked cakes. They were so delicious that whenever I talk about them, they make my mouth water again.
