Where is Taloyoak eady? its in the far north of Canada, in the Nunavut region.
its six hours by aeroplane to the nearest city.
Is it a big town? How many people live there?
There are about 800 people, so it's quite
a small community. There are only two shops!
Are there lots of cars in Taloyoak? A barge comes in summer and brings our supplies for the year.
How do you get your supplies?
There isn't much traffic - everyone travels by ski-doo!
?
Is there much to do there in your free time?
Well, there's a dance hall and a swimming pool. You can't swim in
the sea here! I'm a big fan of ice-skating - it's very popular here.
Is it always cold where you live?
How much snow is there?
It's about -25°C in winter. So, yes, it's quite cold! For a short time
in summer there isn't any snow, but in winter there's a lot.
Well, I like my town because I've got a lot of good friends here. But one
day I think I want to live in a big city - maybe Vancouver or Toronto.
Do you like living in the Arctic?​

fashion is something we deal with everyday. even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.

one certain thing in the fashion world is change. we are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. movies also have a big impact on what people wear. ray-ban sold more sunglasses after the movie men in black. sometimes a trend is world-wide. back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like elvis presley.

fashion is revealing. clothes reveal what groups people are in. in high school, groups have names: "goths, skaters, preps, herbs." styles show who you are, but they also create stereotypes and distance between groups. for instance, a businessman might look at a boy with green hair and multiple piercings as a freak and outsider. but to another person, the boy is a strict conformist. he dresses a certain way to deliver the message of rebellion and separation, but within that group, the look is uniform. acceptance or rejection of a style is a reaction to the society we live in. fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it. "clothes create a wordless means of communication that we all understand," according to katherine hamnett, a top british fashion designer.

fashion is big business. more people are involved in the buying, selling and production of clothing than any other business in the world. everyday, millions of workers design, sew, glue, dye, and transport clothing to stores. ads on buses, billboards and magazines give us ideas about what to wear, consciously, or subconsciously. clothing can be used as a political weapon. in nineteenth century england, laws prohibited people from wearing clothes produced in france. during twentieth century communist revolutions, uniforms were used to abolish class and race distinctions.
