The 21st
century student stars portrayed in the TV series are very fashionable with
designer garbs. The theme of gossip also
seems to have made reality TV shows and teen TV series quite popular among the
youth.
Gossip girl, the TV soap has inspired designer Anna Sui to come up with an entire collection after the characters in it. This popularity is because of the social interaction and bonding over the subject of fashion and gossip by the student groups. Every girl who goes to university would indulge in elaborate critical arguments with friends on their favourite or the worst outfit worn by Blair or Jenny from 'gossip girl' and share the latest gossip about what has happened between the characters in the series.
The mixture of 'Gossip' and 'Fashion' has made the series popular with fan following trying to copy their favourite look and adopting the values showcased on the series of 'gossiping'. According to Thornborrow and Morris (2004) gossip is a strategy used by both men and women to build themselves a positive identity within their social group and with the viewing public. Thornborrow and Morris (2004) have also posited the central role of gossip talk in establishing social values and maintaining social relations. The TV series draws on this to make the viewer have interaction with the TV characters as a third party listening in on gossip shared by the actors and actresses in the series.
RGU has caught up on this new trend of fashionable students with its very own fashion photography session in the 'The bulletin' weekly in association with Fashion Society UNI-Fashion and the fashion management students posing with their styled creations and also catching the fashionistas from other streams caught on camera in campus..
