In conclusion, fashion is a important and very key resource which is used to construct identity with great ease In everyday speech... we speak of body that is subject to the clothes that literally en-clothe it with significance. (Gill, 1998). However there are other resources which can both be controlled and uncontrolled to help and aid in these constructions of identity. Closely linked with fashion is obviously the music in which individuals listen to, they both interlink and influence the other. The subculture and activities in which individuals wish to partake in also helps to in this building up. The media is a great factor which also must be considered media effects societys way of life and thinking if the media portray a negative image of a style-tribe or an identity then this is how the public will view the individuals. To construct a chosen identity all these factors must be taken into account by the individual.
