    same as the difference between a well thought out statement introducing a thesis that can be subsequently debated and a generic statement that has no merit and will probably get no responses.

      its late and im posting nonsense

      a look has more bias towards mainstream cultural semiotics - e.g. - cowboy/girl look.... rocker look etc.... seeing as we live in world obliterated by history and regurgitated imageries 'look' finds its way into almost everything... sometimes more shamelessly blatant than others....

      fashion ought to have a stronger bias towards aesthetics of silhouette, form and proportion, exploration of shade and hue etc but also mixed in with more artisanal aspects of the details.. of the three id say 'fashion' is the more all encompassing - I think fashion is rarely void of even one of the three criteria im trying to define here.... I also think fashion tends to be more concerned with the interplay and polytics between all three.... metaesthetics if you will.....

      id say 'fashion statement' is the narrowest of your categories. More a one liner but can still contain facets from the other two.....eg mixing stripes and spots, baggy and tight, or rock tee shirts with pearls yadadada.... a more superficial and flat statement rather than an evolving exploration of paradigms/aesthetics....
