Fashion is usually put into the same category as clothes and/or accessories. But it really is more than that. It is all about how it was made and the actual work that goes into it. Sometimes, the type of clothes you wear can help you express your inner beauty and personality.
A long time ago, when people wore nothing at all, the idea that you should put something on your body to cover it up was crazy. So basically, fashion was invented much as everything else. There is no easy way to determine when clothing was first esablished. One theory is that modern humans are only survivors of several species of primates who may have worn clothes and that clothing may have been used as long as 650 thousand years ago. Other theories proposed by different people put the introduction of clothing at around 42,000-72,000B.C. Over all this time, the clothes we wear and display on our bodies have changed so much.
There is a very diverse range of styles in fashion, varying by geography, culture, and exposure to modern media, economic conditions, and ranging from expensive haute couture to traditional garb, to the thrift store grunge.
Clothes all come back to the work of the designers. All designers have a different style to their work. Some design clothes for men, some for women and some even design clothes for both men and women. There have been many fashion designers over the years, but I am only going to write about two particularly influential and interesting ones: Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.

...I, Chanel was a nurse, although her after the war popularity was greatly reduced by her affair with a Nazi officer during the conflict and she moved to Switzerland to escape the arguing. However, she ended this self-imposed exile in 1954, returning to Paris when she took on Christian Dior's openly feminine New Look. She expanded the signature style with the introduction of pea jackets and bell-bottoms for women. Her new collection, criticized by the press in Europe, was a hit in the United States. During her life, Coco Chanel also designed costumes for the stage, including Cocteau's 'Antigone' (1923) and 'Oedipus Rex' (1937) and movie-based works such as 'La Regle de Jeu'. Coco Chanel worked until her death in 1971 at the age of 88, spending her last instant in the style she had become comfortable with at her beautiful and rich-looking private apartment in The Ritz.
Fashion has been developing for as long as the Earth had been around, but the style people track today redirects generally to what was brought up during the roaring twenties, the era of a luxurious life. Women’s sartorial will experience many more future modifications which are predicted to be less modest and conservative. Men, on the other hand, will most likely not endure many changes. As fashion flourishes, society’s image on women, as well as men, will renovate into a more exposed mentality with a greater assortment of acceptance.
They liberated women from tight corsets through her innovative use of tweed and jersey influenced by men’s clothing. Chanel created many timeless designs including the “little black dress,” the classic Chanel suit and Chanel No. 5 perfume. Her designs have forever changed the fashion industry.

Fashion has been around ever since ancient times, since the time of the Romans, it survived the world wars and is yet today a business with rapid changes. Fashion started off as an art form, a way for the riches to show their social status with unique and innovative designs that only they could afford. It was a way to separate the social classes of the society. In this paper I will include the creator of haute couture, and how the following designers developed couture, as well as having leading names in today’s ready-to-wear industry. The list is long, but I chose to focus on the three most important designers of the modern fashion industry.
Fashion is a word that can mean many different things. To some it means what models wear on the runway. To others, fashion means the clothing styles that people wear on a daily basis. A good place to start this discussion would be to define what Fast Fashion is; it is the rapid conversion of design trends into multi-channel volume.
Chanel was put to work at the age of 20, working as a seamstress to a French textile heir and racehorse owner. Chanel got the nickname Coco from a song
It is necessary to identify fashion and explain the systems apparel industry uses before I start explore the essentiality of fast fashion.

To begin with, I will look at each of the two subjects. Fashion is an extremely large subject with many sub-categories and can mean many different things, however in this essay I will take fashion to mean the popular clothing style. I will put emphasis on looking at high fashion as these are the leaders of their field. Fashion itself though, is not to be confused with clothing. Clothing is a part of fashion, but it is predominantly purely functional, for protection from different aspects of the environment. Fashion however, is primarily for image. It is a way to present individuality and personality. A physical mouldable form of expression. Designers wish to create works of art that can be worn, and this is wear clothing becomes an art form.
Fashion was culturally formed, and there is a close relationship between art and fashion. The first designer who had his label sewn into a garment he created was Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895). In the 1840s, adult women adopted a variation on girls' pantalettes as an undergarment. (Toccata: March 2010 toccatamundi.blogspot.com

Historically, multiple styles of dressing have been created during the last several decades, which played an important role in modern fashion in the UK.

Some styles are influenced in vintage styles which is attributing to the deep effects of old vogue, and another group of dressing styles are inclined into the fresh element. According to those different styles some of them are even evolved in the milestones in fashion history.
From a historic point of view, Western travelers had remarked on the slow pace of lifestyle and fashion change in Turkey and Persia. On the other hand, many people were of the opinion that the western culture is getting out of hand in terms of dressing fashion (Cumming 234). In most cases, change of fashion and dressing style took place hand in hand with economic and social changes. In the developing world, changes in fashion began with the coming of the whites in Middle East. Changes began in the 11th century when the Turks came to central Asia and Far East. In Europe, continuous change in clothing fashion is believed to have started in middle 14th century. It started by a sudden introduction of shortening and tightening of male garments, it further brought the introduction of trousers and leggings that were worn by men (Cumming 235). After the advent of change in men fashion, it was followed by changes in female c...
Clothing has been around for thousands of years; almost as long as the modern human has. At first, it served the practical purpose of protection from the elements; but, as life for early humans stopped being a constant struggle to survive, they started noticing how they looked and the concept of fashion began to take shape. These first few garments were typically dyed draped cloth that was pinned at the shoulder and/or waist. This was seen in many ancient civilizations around the world, Greek and Roman the most notable. Over time, clothing began to get more and more complex and formed to the body’s shape, eventually leading up to the tailored style we now have today. However, the sophisticated world of Haute Couture; or high fashion, can distinctly trace its roots to Paris during the mid-19th century. Clothing from there was thought to be superior to those from anywhere else, and women began to come from all over Europe just to buy dresses. This was probably due in part to one notable dressm...
