Muse

a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
"Yeats' muse, Maud Gonne"

A muse might be a lover, a friendly infatuation, or maybe even a stranger the artist never even speaks to. It's usually assumed that the muse is a lover, but really, it's not as clear-cut as that, and in fact some of the best muses never end up as a lover or romantic relationship at all.

GONGOOZLE

If you’ve ever been to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, you’ve probably encountered some gongoozlers. To gongoozle is to gaze at activity taking place on a canal or waterway. It’s also used to describe those who harbour an interest in canals and canal living, but do not actively participate.

Gongoozling is kind of like ogling, but somewhat oddly specific to canals. Now that you know the word, you’ll probably notice gongoozlers everywhere—walking along the riverbank, on the beach, strolling around your neighborhood pond on a sunny afternoon. You, yourself, have probably been gongoozling for years without even realizing it.

In sum, not just fashion trends, as those are influenced by what’s happening in the world, as well as cultural aspects and societal behavior.
