Never thought of as something magical and artistic, Webster defines fashion as a prevailing style or custom as in dress or behavior. Many people don’t understand the history behind fashion. Fashion can help attract a partner, as well as showing certain features of a person's personality that appeal to prospective mates. Keeping up with fashion can advertise a person's status to such candidates.

Fashion can suggest or signal status in a social group. Groups with high cultural status like to keep 'in fashion' to display their position; people who do not keep 'in fashion' within a so-called "style tribe" can risk shunning. Because keeping in fashion often requires considerable amounts of money, this custom can be used to show off wealth (compare conspicuous consumption). Adherence to fashion trends can thus form an index of social affluence and an indicator of social mobility.

Fashion sense consists of the ability to tell what clothing, and or accessories, looks good and what does not. Since the entire notion of fashion depends on subjectivity, this leads to the question of who possesses "fashion sense". Some people style themselves as "fashion consultants" and charge clients to help the latter choose what to wear.

Fashion can operate differently depending on gender, or it can promote homogeneity as in unisex styles.

Reign of Tokyo's own COO (Darnell Davis) and CEO (Tokyo Empire) invaded Poets and Painters Presents The Trinity in Silver Spring, Maryland. Dressed to impress as fashion undercover police we patrolled the scene for tasteless dacor and true fashin mavens. We notices some pretty good looking people but also noticed a lot of last seasons hand me downs and cellulite pertruding through, we decided to narrow it down to best and worst dressed for the evening. There was a young lady with shorts on the size of a wash rag and some run down knee boots with fur tops. People it was cold, I mean freezing, and I think I saw a little brown spot in the back of her shorts!! What I think really set me off about those shorts was the fact that they were lime green!!!! Walking around looking like an easter egg in the middle of fall. Poor, Poor Child! Our best dressed for the evening however sported a Black velvet blazer with an argyle printed sweeter. His jeans were blue denim with a white wash that added a little flash to the look. Who was this simple but sheik fashion icon of the evening? It was Brooklyn, New York's own BenyBlaq.

Watch out for Reign of Tokyo's Fashion Police For you will never see nor know where we are!!

The Saga has begun.
