Media and collective identity

I wouldn't say that there were any fashion movements taking place at this present moment, however many people in society are beginning to dress very similarly because of high-street brands such as Topman / Topshop and Riverisland.  However this probably wouldn't contribute to the formation of a collective identity as there are many different people who wouldn't want to look or dress the same as the mass of people and would want to be individuals. 

One cultural movement that added to collective identity recently was the protests against the rise in student fees, this shows how there has been a collective disagreement with the increasing fees and people of any ages have come togther to belive in one thing.
