Ageism
Ageism is an overlooked way of being prejudiced. You look at somebody because of their age, and tell them off the rip that they are too young or too old for the job without giving them any sort of opportunity to showcase what exactly they can do. I am going to be talking about how ageism affects fashion, and how it can also impact somebody's mental health. In the industry of fashion, it is very important to fit the right age group. You never want to be too young because you may not know as much as somebody that has 5 more years of experience. Does that mean they know more than you or they are better at their job than you? No, it’s just something that holds value in the fashion industry. Those beliefs that only a certain age or amount of experience required may miss out on something that could be beneficial to them. Mentally it affects somebody because they are being shut down as for any other reason but age which could cause somebody to be overly stressed and even depressed.
