Fashion - The Social Phenomena

-

 

Fashions are social phenomena that can be found across a wide range of human activity and thought. Fashion houses and their associated fashion designers, as well as high-status consumers (including celebrities), appear to play a role in shaping the rates and directions of change in fashion. Fashion is in the sky and on the street; fashion is about ideas, how we live, and what is going on. Fashion is a field dominated by women and designed primarily for women's needs.

Fashion


The "Steinkirk" cravat or necktie is an example of men's fashions taken mostly from military models, and alterations in a European male silhouette were galvanized in European war theaters where gentleman officers had opportunities to take notes on foreign designs. The pace of change picked up in the 1780s with the increased publication of French engravings that showed the latest Paris styles; though there had been distribution of dressing dolls from France as patterns since the sixteenth century, and Abraham Bosse had produced engravings of fashion from the 1620s.


Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt responsible for many innovations before, and the textile industry certainly led many trends, the History of fashion design is normally taken to date from 1858, when the English-born Charles Frederick Worth opened the first true haute couture house in Paris. Since then the professional designer has become an increasingly more dominating figure, despite the beginnings of many styles in street fashion.


A stylist is either a person who coordinates the clothes, jewelry, and accessories worn in fashion photography and catwalk shows, or a type of designer who creates designs based on existing items, trends, and other designers' collections. Clothing is ordered by buyers for retail establishments, particularly larger chain stores. An illustrator creates clothing for commercial usage by drawing and painting them. For these journals, talented artists such as Paul Iribe, George Lepape, and George Barbier created magnificent fashion plates, which covered the most recent advancements in fashion and beauty. At fashion shows or for photographs, a model features clothes. A photographer shoots the garments on fashion models for use in publications, newspapers, or advertising.


Season


Fashion design varies from costume design due to its fundamental product having a built-in obsolescence usually of one to two seasons. A season is described as either autumn/winter or spring/summer. Fashion houses normally present ready-to-wear collections at Fashion Week each season. They frequently wait a season to see if a trend will catch on before releasing their own versions of the original look. They do this by looking at prior seasons' fashion trends. They also read fashion forecasting periodicals and keep an eye on what others in the industry are doing. They also rely on their experience of their own clients to determine which styles were successful in previous seasons and which were not. Fashions may vary substantially within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation and region as well as across time.

  The word " fashion " describes a prevalent form of expression. Many people identify fashion with clothing, even though the phrase may be used to describe a wide range of disciplines, including interior design, architecture, economics, and technology. Fashion is what a certain culture considers to be good and beautiful. Therefore, anything that meets these requirements will be in style. Anything that doesn't fit that particular method of expression will be deemed outmoded. When used, the word "fashion" typically has a positive connotation and is generally linked to the ideas of glamour and style. However, the term "fashion" has a negative meaning when used to describe someone as being materialistic or trendy. We can say that fashion is older than four centuries because the concept of making a statement via clothing dates back to the sixteenth century in Europe. But on the ancient continent, fashion as most people understand it—expression via clothin...

The Eco Fashion Is Fair Trade

Because they guarantee that a larger percentage of the money goes to the people who manufacture the products, fair trade fashion items like blouses, skirts, and accessories like jewelry and handbags are fantastic. The ecology benefits from Fair Trade clothing as well, though. Don't you think so? Think about it: the majority of Fair Trade fashion goods' raw materials are grown in a sustainable way because it is profitable for the people who harvest them; slash-and-burn techniques are simply ineffective. So the next time you select a piece of clothing or an accessory that is marked with the Fair Trade badge, think about eco-friendly fashion too! There are, of course, obvious exceptions to this rule. Although not all Fair Trade products are eco-friendly fashion items, the majority of them are. To find out if you're getting what you're paying for, you just need to do a little product research. You see, wearing eco-friendly apparel and accessories means either that they d...
