As this is a vast field and one article is not sufficient, in this article, I am sharing only general information!

What is a fashion?

 

Fashion has a profound impact on the world, not just in terms of personal style, but also in terms of the economy, culture, and technology. The fashion industry is a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise, employing millions of people and encompassing a wide range of industries, including design, production, retail, and marketing. The industry is constantly evolving, and adapting to new trends, technologies, and consumer demands.

Not portraying only clothing, fashion can be shown up through jewelry,  shoes, bags, accessories, language, and many other more. Time changes to fashion create new trends, and through time, fashion also changes further again. So, it is not static, rather it tastes the current environment, follows up, and creates the trend.

History of fashion design

 

Throughout the early 20th century, practically all high fashion originated in Paris and to a lesser extent London. Fashion magazines from other countries sent editors to the Paris fashion shows. Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows, where they purchased garments to copy (and openly stole the style lines and trim details of others). Both made-to-measure salons and ready-to-wear departments featured the latest Paris trends, adapted to the stores’ assumptions about the lifestyles and pocket books of their targeted customers. At this time in fashion history the division between haute couture and ready-to-wear was not sharply defined. The two separate modes of production were still far from being competitors and they often co-existed in houses where the seamstresses moved freely between made-to-measure and ready-made. Around the start of the 20th century fashion style magazines began to include photographs and became even more influential than in the future. In cities throughout the world these magazines were greatly sought-after and had a profound effect on public taste. Talented illustrators – among them Paul Iribe, Georges Lepape, Erté, and George Barbier – drew exquisite fashion plates for these publications, which covered the most recent developments in fashion and beauty. Perhaps the most famous of these magazines was La Gazette du Bon Ton which was founded in 1912 by Lucien Vogel and regularly published until 1925.

Fashion retailing and marketing

 

fashion industry, multibillion-dollar global enterprise devoted to the business of making and selling clothes. Some observers distinguish between the fashion industry (which makes “high fashion”) and the apparel industry (which makes ordinary clothes or “mass fashion”), but by the 1970s the boundaries between them had blurred. Fashion is best defined simply as the style or styles of clothing and accessories worn at any given time by groups of people. There may appear to be differences between the expensive designer fashions shown on the runways of Paris or New York and the mass-produced sportswear and street styles sold in malls and markets around the world. However, the fashion industry encompasses the design, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, retailing, advertising, and promotion of all types of apparel (men’s, women’s, and children’s) from the most rarefied and expensive haute couture (literally, “high sewing”) and designer fashions to ordinary everyday clothing—from couture ball gowns to casual sweatpants. Sometimes the broader term “fashion industries” is used to refer to myriad industries and services that employ millions of people internationally.

Fashion lesson summary

 

Fashion history is important because it is a visual marker of societal changes. In ancient Rome and Egypt, clothing was used strictly as a status symbol. In 1890, the French started the iconic fashion trend of haute couture. Many women began wearing androgynous flapper style clothing in the 1920s. French fashion designer, Dior, became highly popular in the 1950s. Due to the Great Depression, fashion became more military, serious, and practical. The bohemian style was popular in the 1960s and 1970s, with very flowy and floral garments, bell-bottom style pants, and denim. The 1980s were a time of extravagance in fashion because the economy was finally bouncing back from the Great Depression. In 1990, grunge fashion was in style, which included garments like flannels and ripped clothing, colors like black and red, and a casual punk aesthetic that incorporated style accessories like chains and ties. Modern fashion has moved away from the performative function of fashion and instead focuses on minimalism, comfortability, and sustainability.

Why is fashion important and isencial ?

 

Every day, every time you get dressed, there is the possibility of conveying a message according to the clothes you choose. This decision can be thought through or simply chosen according to your mood. Clothing is an essential part of people’s lives, as it sets the tone for how each individual presents themselves in society, that is, the clothes we wear tell the story of who we are.

Fashion boutiques

 

Fashion Boutiques seem to be popping up everywhere these days. This is partly because women all over the world are choosing to shop at small Fashion Boutiques instead of their larger, more generic high-street cousins. And most fashion boutiques wouldn’t have it any other way! In fact, most of them don’t even aspire to cater to a large, mainstream audience, as it would take all the fun and excitement out of boutique fashion.

Boutique Fashion is all about discovering hidden styles, reinventing lost trends, and creating timeless collections. To illustrate just how unique this experience is, we’ve put together a list of the top 12 advantages of shopping at fashion boutiques.

Differences between fashion and style

 

Fashion and style overlap in the street style that photographers capture outside of fashion shows. The subjects photographed are typically models, stylists, and fashion editors wearing the clothes of the designers whose shows they are attending, but they've taken the clothes and styled them to work for real life, effectively merging fashion with style.

What is fashion all about?

 

To delineate fashion is actually a difficult job, as it differs from person to person. For some, fashion may be a popular or latest style of clothing, accessory, decoration etc. I believe fashion is something which you can carry with ease and feel comfortable in whatever you are wearing. Fashion isn’t about divulging your body; you can equally look beautiful and fashionable in covered dresses. Fashion is something which comes from within. If you are happy and positive, it reflects on your face that adds charm to your personality. That’s how you are ready to hit the road in style and yes that is one of the ways to look fashionable.

Components of fashion

 

Fashion is an umbrella term for self-expression through clothing and accessories, influenced by prevailing trends, cultural identity, and the economic, political, and environmental factors of a particular time and place. It is dressing in clothes that bring out the best of your body while impressing to others the excellent taste of the wearer. From a broader perspective, it is also a reflection of the society we live in, influenced by trends that are popular in mainstream culture.
