Fashion Tribes: A number of people with a distinctive sense of style, presenting their association
with a group style. These members are completely devoted to this lifestyle that they
create a subculture.
Fashion tribes were formed and directed by ‘specific economic, political and ideological
forces’. - (LoveToKnow, 2017). The group’s identity as a collective is self-attributed, yet an
age, gender, social class or ethnicity must be considered. This is significant to the main
topic of identifying how fashion tribes and subcultures have become forgotten, because
fashion tribes are a form of self-expression with individual style.
