At the fashion message boards I frequent all EVERYONE does is watch celebs for the big fashion trends. At one of the BIGGEST fashion forums (which is a known INDUSTRY Board
worldwide) there is a sub section dedicated to celebs and ALL they do is look at what celebs are wearing every day (new pap pics daily). It is DEFINITELY what drives the trends.
The really avant gard crazy fashionable people make up their own shit but the masses do follow celebs. These days celebs influence fashion MORE Than models.
For example, the trendsetter for most teenagers and young women is LC Conrad from
The Hills from MTV. If she wears something, the next day people will murder and kill and pillage to buy that exact item.
from an article online :
"Radar ranks fashion's new power posse, and at the top of the list isn't Vogue's Anna Wintour (#17) or designer Karl Lagerfeld (#2), but The Hills' Lauren Conrad. (Also ahead of Wintour: Tyra Banks, the Olsen twins, Us Weekly's Sasha Charnin Morrison, and, um, Rachel Zoe (she did say that she was more important than Wintour in a NYT Magazines profile in September))."
LC is only a reality tv star, not even an actress but her influence is so profound because people follow what she wears and will buy the same shit, she is considered more influential than the fucken editor of Vogue
