It's funny to look at the definitions of fashion because when I hear the word fashion, I usually just think about clothing. A friend of mine recently sent me an article about some killer fashions and I do mean killer. 6 Popular Fashion Trends (That Killed People) is an article that discusses, well, 6 fashion trends that were fatal to those who wore and used them. Listed below are the fashions discussed and a short explanation of each:
6. The crinoline is a stiffened petticoat or rigid skirt-shaped structure of steel designed to support the skirts of a woman’s dress into the required shape.
5. A corset is a garment worn to mold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes.
4. Foot binging refers to the restructuring of the feet by the breaking of the arch and four smaller toes on each foot for the purpose of achieving small feet for females.
