The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" were employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. However, more so in the modern era items termed 'not so current' may indeed fit into the term 'Retro.' Retro fashion allows rule shifts, such as 'old is suddenly new,' thus fashionable. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, [[beauty]] and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal [[art]], through which a culture examines its notions of [[beauty]] and [[goodness]]. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and [[materialism]]. A number of cities are recognized as global fashion centers and are recognized for their fashion weeks, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to [[audience]]s. These cities are [[Paris]], Milan, [[New York]], and [[London]].
