Beginner
A: do you think I still fashionable in this dress?
B: I think so. Blue is still fashionable at the moment.
a: this style came out last year, though. I like the dress, but I’m not
sure whether last year’s fashions will be same this year.
b: I think this kind of dress will stay in fashion for a few more years.
People don’t change fashions every year. It would be too expensive.
a: yes. Only the top designer try to tell people to change fashion every
year, but only rich people can do it.
b: there are some real fashion victims who just have to keep totally
up-to-date with expensive clothes.
a: I wish I could be one of those people, but my budget simply doesn’t
stretch that far. I have to limit the amount of money I spend on clothes
otherwise I would go on a shopping frenzy.
B: I know what you mean. The situation will be worse if we marry our
boyfriends and have children. The we’ll have even less money to spend on
fashionable clothes!

A: look at these clothes designed by top fashion designer like Versacci,
Calvin Klein, and Vivienne Westwood. What do you think of them?
B: well, they look lovely, but they’re not very practical. I mean, would
you wear that dress to the office or walking down the street?
A: I know what you mean. People would stare at you in amazement if you wore
something like that in an everyday situation. I suppose only extravagant rich
people wear then at cocktail parties.
B: maybe. I’m not sure why they have fashion shows like this. Hardly anyone
will buy those clothes. The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that
ordinary people wear. It seems like a waste of money.
A: I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons.
First, it’s just like a big party. They can meet each other and network. The
other thing is that it is great advertising. All the journalists and
photographers are there. Thirdly, it give them a chance to show what they would
like to see people wearing.
B: you meant it’s an expression of their fantasies?
A: yes. I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they
would like to see people wear if those people weren’t concerned with what other
people might think. In a way, the designers are saying‘don’t worry about what
others think. Wear what you like!’.
B: very philosophical. I think they design these clothes more for
publicity. They try to see who can be the most extreme and outrageous, but still
stylish.
A: come on. All this fashion has reminded me that I want to buy some
