A term that usually applies to the style of the time, but sometimes also to a personal mode of expression. The concepts "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current popular mode of expression.

This website is all about showing that fashion and ecology can be very strong partners.

You’ll find it dyed in a spectrum of colours, and its natural texture and geometric patterns lend it a distinctive quality.
