参考译文：(One possible version)

What is fashion? Different people have different opinions about it.

Some people think that wearing new clothes is fashionable. And having a new mobile phone also means fashion. At the same time, to have a new hairstyle is fashionable, too.

However, other people don’t think so. They hold the view that having new knowledge and gaining new ability are fashion and making new contributions to the society is also fashionable.

In my opinion, fashion means words and actions which benefit the society. We should try to improve ourselves to be a true fashionable person.
