    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Well, everyone has a different choice. We should, we can't interrupt in anybody's life. But today now I would like to describe a dead person who wears different kind of the clothes, which like a stranger. It is none of another than my sibling. His name is Radhika and she is very different from others, from my other siblings. She also wear small cloths like skirts and shorts, which is not suitable on her personality. I think she should wear that type of the cloth, which pair, which suits on her personality and she looks like a traditionally. Because in this era, we can't judge to anyone by seeing their clothes and outfits. But additionally, if I talk about me, I always wear that cloth, which suits on my personality and it's depend upon the cultural situations. Furthermore, when I went to the school, I saw her to wear skirt for going temple and gurudwara sahib, which is not a right thing according to me. If I talk about her nature, she is totally different from another. And I think she should wear that cloth, which is, in which she feels comfortable and she feels look like a ritual family.

    Okay, Karan Johar wear unusual cloths every time and for every party but I like his sense of dressing himself like wearing any baggy cloths with the rugged jeans it suits him although sometimes it's got too messy with his looks but it's give a great vibe. And although I saw him only in TV's or Facebook magazines but I like his work and also I like the way he carries cloths, his jewellery is matching with the work cause wearing a jewellery as a male efficiency is very low in our state so it give a good vibe. Thank you.

    I believe the person who comes to my mind whenever I think about unusual clothes is Urfi Javed. Urfi Javed is a very famous Instagram influencer. In fact, her show is also available on Amazon Prime Videos. She is someone who designs her clothes herself. She gets those, those clothes herself from fabric to the final product of that clothing is entirely done by Urfi Javed herself. I believe her sense of clothing is a little unusual from what people wear is because there has been certain media appearances where she's worn clothes made up of different materials which are not something which we see commonly. There are certain media appearances where she made herself made a cloth with only safety pins. Her entire body was covered by attaching different safety pins. Another example of her one of her unique appearances was where she had worn a cloth which looked like a cage and when she opened the cage, birds flew off that cage. So I believe she's a very confident person and her personality and her presence in the media comes through her unusual clothing. She has not just restricted herself to clothing. She's now exploring her path through vlogging, YouTube and other appearances also. See she started her she gained attention on media by wearing these unusual clothes but eventually she knows that that is something would not be enough for her to you know sustain in this industry. Therefore she's trying to explore different aspects of it. Urfi Javed has also introduced her sisters into the industry. Her sisters have been part of various reality shows. They also have their own vlogging and entertainment channels.

    A person that wears weird clothes is one of my closest friends, Mohit. I know him from my childhood as he is my classmate from class nursery. I first met him during my first day at school and from there we share a really warm bonding with each other. He likes to wear loose and baggy clothes of bright colors and apart from that the fiber of the clothes were very different as compared to anyone else. I considered his clothing weird because he usually selects his attire not on the basis of the occasion. Sometimes on a formal meeting he wears casual clothes which makes him stand out of all the others and sometimes in a family gathering he wears very formal clothes which seems very different as compared to all of us. I think once I asked him why he wears that type of clothes and then he shared his point of view to me that he wants to do something new and he wants to become a fashion designer.

    While I was in my college, I had a friend named Jeeva. She was that kind of a girl who comes up with a unique way of dressing, which is different from other students in our college. And she always stood out in a crowd because of the way she dresses. And it was kind of weird to see, but in a good way. She always comes up with a street style, which complements the way she looks. And I kind of like the way she dresses because of her unique styling pattern that she always follows. She used different kinds of accessories and other dressing material to come up with, you know, different styles of fashion. And I often admired her for her styling because moreover, she's not a fashion student. She studied business analytics, but she always comes up with different kinds of trending techniques to show herself in front of a crowd, which made her stood out. I think it is a better way to show ourselves that we are different from others. And it always makes an impression on others that that person is unique in her ways or in her style. And I think she kind of made me think about a Hollywood star named Britney Spears because her style of clothing reciprocated the way Britney Spears styled in her 80s. And she followed a kind of pattern in her dressing because she always incorporated different kinds of metals or a different kind of tarnished items into her dressing, which made her more vibrant and elegant from others. She never followed the rules of college because in our college we had certain kind of rules and regulations to be followed, but she was a rebel. She always stood out in a crowd.

    So, if I am to speak about somebody who wears weird clothes, it would be my junior from school. Back in school, I never thought that she has such a weird clothing habits because we all used to wear the uniforms and nobody could judge anyone in that era. But later when we all joined the colleges, she chose to join in National Institute of Fashion Technology and that's a place where, and she has chosen fashion designing also. So, that's a place where people would have different taste, they all come together, share ideas and get a lot more to learn from. So, I started seeing her clothing trends very recently after following her on social medias. So, she always used to wear this junky and heavy clothing which most of the people rarely choose to wear. I don't think I would wear those kind of dress any day because I am more into comfortable clothing ideas and sustainable living. So, mostly I would choose cotton and dresses that are light and could be worn on any day. But the weird thing about her is, even during summer days, be it winter days, all the days she wears this same heavy junky clothing which I am surprised to see.

    My gym trainer has a very rich sense of fashion, she on most occassions she tends to use bright and neon coloured clothes which are flashy and messy in design, apart from this the amount of skin exposure feels to be inappropriate in public places, the constant need for attention and unvaried choices in colours may be supporting this choice of hers, but personally I don't feel that this helps in description of fashion appropriately.

    I would like to say a person who wears different cloths is Ranveer Singh. He's an actor and I know him from movies as I've seen him growing up do a lot of different movies and he has had a wide variety of films and I would like to talk to him about his life. I would like to talk about his fashion sense. He always wears, in films okay his costumes are okay but in the real world he always wears cloths that are too flashy means he wears colors like orange, indigo, pink and everything flashy and mismatched and too bright colors. He wears too bright colors which are very unpleasant to the eye. When you look at him you feel like what is this guy wearing. I mean I think the cloths he wears is weird means he does not follow all the cliche rules involved in fashion. He was even seen wearing lehengas which usually girls wear and I mean he wore a lot of bold outfits to many events and yeah.

    Okay, so the person who wears unusual clothes, according to me, would be Urfi Javed. So Urfi Javed is a fashion influencer. She makes reels and videos on Instagram. I saw her through Instagram only, like that's how I actually knew about a person named as Urfi Javed. So her outfit sense is very unusual, but I would not say that it's weird. I mean, it does look weird because if you wear that in public place, of course, people are going to judge you. And it's unusual for public place, but I love her creativity. I just, I just love how she, how she can create an outfit with literally anything. Let it be a plastic bottle, cotton wire, anything. She can slay an outfit in literally any material and it suits on her as well. But then her outfit is a bit unusual because it's way too revealing, like she only covers the private parts of her body, rest all is open. So that's unusual and sometimes it's a bit discomforting for people as well. So she, she is a fashion icon who wears unusual clothes and which is a bit weird. But then she, you know, sometimes she just slays the look. I love her creativity, how she can turn anything into everything.

    I would like to talk about my neighbor who is a fashion designer and definitely stands out with his class. He is in his early 30s and has a very private personality. He completed his graduation in fashion design from the National Institute of Fashion Design, one of the best in the country. I have known him for around 5 years since he moved into the next house 2 hours. He always wears clothes that are very different and eye-catching. Most of the time he dresses in bright colors like orange, red and purple colors that normal people hesitate to wear. He mixes traditional and modern styles in such a unique way that you cannot ignore him. I have never seen him wearing simple jeans and a t-shirt like most people do. His outfits are always designer wear and he even designs clothes for celebrities and films. He is very passionate about his work and talks fashion very seriously. He has traveled to Paris, which is considered the fashion capital of the world, for fashion events. He always attends fashion shows regularly and gets lots of accolades for his creativity. One time he gifted me a yellow colored suit that was too bold for my taste. I still have not worn it in public because I feel people might start calling me a banana. He also wears a lot of accessories like hats, scarves and jewelry, things that we usually don't wear everyday. Sometimes his clothes look a bit weird to me, but they are definitely fashionable and trendy. Even though his style is not for everyone, I respect his confidence.
