The main reason for that is youth are quit open to adopt anything easily as they don’t have any boundaries in their mind and soul. Fashion, style and health are three aspects which attracts the youth a lot they follow their idols (mostly film actors and actress) and try to be like them in each and every way, like the way they dress, their hair style and their physique. Today’s youth has become very health conscious and that’s very good as healthy youth make a bright future of the country.

Fashion is defining style, dressing, looks and accessories: Mitendra meeth Singh
Mitendra meeth singh who is associated with fashion industry from past five years and walked on the fashion runway for many national and international designer like Adam Watling (youth designer from UK) says that fashion is the term use for defining dressing, style, looks and accessories, it just doesn’t mean that wearing jazzy or funky clothes and load yourself with heavy accessories. Fashion means what suits you and how you carry yourself, fashion is like a tempting delicacy if you over cook it then it will lose its flavour and if you under cook it then it will lose its value, so it got to have a proper balance, same with the fashion one need to dress up according to the occasion and the personality, if we say it in lay man language ‘one need to be simple but fashionable at the very same time’. 24 year old young model Mitendra meeth Singh has completed his MBA from York University and currently working in UK for a well renowned fashion brand ZARA, he added that it is true that young people are quick to follow anything around the world which appears ‘hip’ or ‘in’. It is in their nature to want to be like young people in other parts of the world. They are quick to relate and to follow what they think is fashionable. By fashion, are included dress, taste in music, language and hairstyles? Except in the most traditional of societies, it is impossible to control the coming of fashion from other countries. With television, books and magazines bring so easily available, the world has shrunk and what is discovered as ‘fashion’ in one part of the world spreads like wildfire fashion everywhere else. Fashion changes in weeks so it’s very important for young people to stay updated on the latest style and trends of fashion and the best thing about fashion is that it can vary from person to person.

When we talk about hair styling he says that hair styling is the most important part of personality but young people don’t really understand it’s important as many times they tend to follow the hair style which their favourite actor or actress put up for specific role. They are least bothered weather it suits them or not, so it’s very important that they select the style which suits their personality like a person having broad face and dark complexion should have short spike hairs rather than having long hairs. Talking about the fashion of UK and India he says that both the countries have their own style of fashion one cannot compare the two as in UK people are more inclined towards jackets and western styling whereas in India people follow multi-trends in fashion and style Indians has large varieties of dressing like from traditional Indian clothing like Sherwanis, Kurtas etc. for men and lehgaas, sarees , suits etc. for women and then we have westernise clothing which include jeans, t-shirt, shirts, trousers and the list goes on, so we Indian should feel proud that our dressing style is highly appreciated by international designers.

Fashion depends on personality: Aaditya Rathod
Aaditya Rathod
A 24 year old Aaditya Rathod who has recently completed his bachelor in business administration from Australia and now he is running his own business of import and export in Gwalior city says that fashion depends on personality, each individual has their own personality, just that they need to realize what suits their personality if they realize this basic thing then definitely they going to make an impactful styling statement and they fill be followed by others. A young businessman is totally a health freak person and likes to spend his free time in Gym. He added that personality plays a very important role in fashion industry and to have a great personality one should eat well to look good and feel good from inside to develop a good healthy personality. Aaditya has done few fashion shows in Australia and one of them is Latrobe fashion show. Young lad says when we talk about the youth of Gwalior especially male they are now more inclined towards body building, so that’s why they hit the Gym thinking that they will get in shape with in few months. This is mainly because most of the youth idolize film stars and try to be like them but they forget that hitting the gym is not the solution to have a perfect body, they need to follow a strict diet chart in order to get in shape. Most of the Gwalior’s youth think that if they work hard in gym and eat more especially non-veg they going to have a body like the actors working in films, which is a very wrong concept every person has his own body shape and texture and they need to exercise accordingly, talking about the diet plan Aaditya said that if one is working out in gym to have perfect body then instead of taking meals three times a day he should divide that meal to six time a day and drink at least 3 to 4 litters of water every day. Youngsters should take their breakfast around 9 in the morning and it should have carbs, oats, honey, wheat bread and orange juice as it has lot of vitamin C avoid drinking cold drinks as it contains anti-oxidants. 11 o clock he should take another snack break in which he can have almonds or any other snacks which doesn’t have sugar and avoid fried stuff as it will accumulate fat in the body. Around 12 to 12.30 in afternoons it’s time for lunch and it should contain carbohydrates, little fat and good amount of protein and fibber (every egg white has 3 gram of protein). Around 3.30 one should take his second snack which should have protein and carbs and he can take this with having a sip of hot green tea. Now person all set to hit the gym but before going to gym one should have hot black coffee which will give him extra energy for the work out one should not exercise more than 1 to 1.15 hours as excess of exercise again increase fat in body once the workout is over person can relax and can have one banana or apple. As the clock strike 8.00 pm it’s the to have dinner which should be a combination of 70% salad and 30% of protein with no carbs non-veg people can go for chicken breast as it has highest amount of protein and veggies can opt for broccolis, curd, pasta, paneer or lentils water as they all have good amount of protein. If a person follows this diet schedule he will literally see a change in his body and personality.
