Topic Trinity GESE Grade 5

1. How has fashion changed over years?
Fashion has changed over the years. It wasn't the same in the middle ages in
France as it was in Spain. One of the most important developments in Fashion
were girls’ clothes.
At first, girls could only wear dresses and they had to look perfect all day long.
They wore corsets to seem thinner. It damaged their lungs and made it difficult for
them to breathe. Nowadays nobody uses them anymore.
Another important thing is that clothes are now cheaper than ever before.There
are a lot of clothes shops and a lot of different types of fashion. Now fashion can
represent your personality.

2. Famous designers I prefer.
Coco Chanel: She was born in France.She has a lot of different famous clothes. She
has been famous since 1916. Her most famous fragrance is chanel nº5, known in all
the world. Her real name is Gabrielle, but we know her as Coco because she sang a
song in the cabaret called “Qui qu'a vu Coco?”. At the beginning of the second world
war she closed all her clothes’ shops because she worked as a nurse.
Ralph Lauren: He was born in the U.S.A, he was in the army of his country. He
began to be famous with his brand of polo Ralph Lauren that has a 3 on the right
shoulder. He will have a new Fashion Line in next Paris Fashion Week.
Have you ever heard about these famous designers?
Which designer do you like the most? I prefer Coco Chanel to any other designer
because she was very poor when she started working.

3. Have you ever been to a Fashion Week?
Paris Fashion week: in the world of fashion there are some events that you can't
miss if you want to be part of it, one of these events is Paris Fashion Week. On
this week the most famous designers of the world show their clothes for the
following season.This week is the last one of the season and it's the most amazing
one. It was the first Fashion Week ever celebrated.
Madrid Fashion Week: This fashion week is here,in Spain. In Spain we celebrate 2
different fashion weeks, one in Madrid and the other one in Barcelona. I´d prefer
Madrid’s fashion week rather than Barcelona’s because it’s the capital of Spain
and more people attend it. I think Barcelona’s one is more boring.
Madrid Fashion Week has been on since 2007 so this year they will celebrate their
10th anniversary!!!! It takes place twice a year: in February and in September.
Have you ever been to a fashion event? Would you like to go?

4. A lot of shops to choose from:
Now we have a lot of different shops and brands,I'm going to talk about some of
them:
Zara:The creator of this shop is Amancio Ortega, one of the richest men in the world.
He opened the first Zara shop in La Coruña,Galicia,in 1975 and it has been operating
since then. He is the creator of inditex,the biggest clothes' enterprise in the world.
Stradivarius:this shop belongs to inditex too.It sells clothes for young people.It’s logo
is a treble clef.This shop has the name of one of the most important types of violins in
the world.
Pull and Bear:Like the previous ones it belongs to inditex. At first this shop was just
for men but now it’s for girls too. Its headquarter is in La Coruña, Galicia, because its
creator is Amancio Ortega too. This shop will be opened in Avilés.
Have you ever gone to these shops? Which clothes shop do you like the most?
I’d rather buy at Stradivarius because I think their designs are more original.

5. Fashion in different places: some differences
You can’t wear the same types of clothes in Hawaii that you wear here in
Asturias.These are some examples of the clothes that you must wear if you want to
feel at ease.
In Andalusia: Here you must wear short jeans and a t-shirt in summer because it’s
too hot. In winter you must wear a jacket but it’s like Asturias in summer!!
In Avilés. Here in Avilés you must wear a coat and jeans in winter but there are
some days when it may feel cold too. In summer it’s hotter but you must always
wear a jacket. But this year I think it will be better.
Which place do you like the most?
I’d rather be in Asturias because in Andalusia it’s too hot.
Have you ever been to Andalusia?
