Fashion is presented as a social issue by Shagufta Khan. While fashion allows self-expression and creativity, it can also be damaging to society. Younger people may focus too much on fashion and rank themselves based on their clothing, taking attention away from their studies. Celebrity culture can influence unhealthy lifestyle choices among youth like anorexia, violence, smoking, and excessive spending on fashion. Fashion is argued to be harmful to individuals and society by promoting an appearance-based culture and potentially leading to health issues, waste, and damaged family relationships.
