Reading. Read the article. Match each of the summaries below to one of the paragraphs in the article: What people wear and don't wear today; What fashion designers do; A very special dress. Article: 1. Björk is on the catwalk. Her skirt is made of bright red ostrich feathers. The 2,000 shiny red glass beads attached to her top ring like little bells. She sounds like a one-person bell orchestra! And the beads are not just ordinary beads. They are specially-ordered microscope slides, each individually hand-drilled and individually painted red. Extraordinary? Yes. Radical? Yes. But what's the point? 2. This is the 21st century after all. Most people are happy with a T-shirt and jeans, a shirt and a pair of chinos. Even business executives dress down these days. Clothes are casual, easy to wear, easy to care for. Whereas the dress that Björk wore, designed by Alexander McQueen, took over a month to make and is one of only two in existence. The other is in an exhibition in a museum in London. Though, frankly, who else would want one? 3. For many people extreme fashion is just self-indulgence on the part of the designers. They are attention seekers, they make headlines, but they don't sell clothes. But for the designers themselves, fashion is a way of airing ideas, of making a statement. The clothes they design are intended to provoke and challenge the way we live, think and are. Closer to conceptual art and less to do with the clothes industry, perhaps.
