Fashion

Fashion is like
the ashes left
behind the
uniquely shaped
flames of the
fire, the trace
alone revealing
the fact that the
fire actually
took place.Fas
hion, a general
term for the
most popular
style or
practice, particu
larly in clothing,
footwear,
accessories,
apparels
andlifestyle. It
is not
a collection of
encaptured
images, but
rather
anensemble of
socio-
morphological
forces
connecting
peoplecatalyzin
g experimental,
open-aided
design. Fashion
and itsaffinity
for
transformation
is a complex
terrain of
architecturalide
ntities, scenery
and
performance.
Popular kinds of
furniture,homes,
art, music,
dance, literature
and
sports preferabl
e in
mostsections of
the society are
also embedded
in the idea of
fashion,
for example
rock music and
contemporary
dance
forms. Fashion
design is
believed to have
started in 19
century
withCharles
Frederick Worth,
being the first
person to have
his namesewn
into the
garments that he
had
created.Change
in fashion is the
tax levied by the
industry of the
poor onthe
vanity of the
rich.Clothes
are not always
about fashion,
in fact man
started to
wear clothes for
warmth!!!That
goes back to the
time of cavemen.
Later humans
started toadd
fashion to
clothes, and this
became a trend.
Soon no one
wascaught dead
without
clothes.Around
40-420 AD.,
Romans wore
Togas or a
cloth wrapped
uparound
oneself made up
of wool or linen,
similar to
Greeks. In
the1100s and
1200s, wool
acclaimed
popularity due
to its
warmth.Fashion
in the 1600s
became a lot
freer and the
Western look
cameinto being.
Fashion in then
period 1795-
1820 in Europe
saw thefinal
triumph of
undress and
informal style
over brocades,
lace and


periwig. In
Britain, Beau
Brumell
introduced trous
ers,
perfecttailoring
and unadorned,
immaculate
linen as
the ideals of
mensand
womens
fashion.The
2000s are being
described as
mash-up
decade, with
trendsfollowing
the fusion of
fashions around
the world with
global
andethical
clothing. For the
most part, the
decade didnt
have a popular
style, but the
recycled ones of
1930s-
80s.Despite
numerous and
mixed fashion
trends of 2000s,
items
of clothing like
Ugg boots,
hoodies, high-
tops and skinny
jeans
were predomina
ntly popular
throughout the
decade.
Globalization
hasalso added
its influence.
Furthermore,
eco-friendly and
ethicalclothing
like recycled
fashions and
fake fur were
also
common.With
the fusion and
globalization of
fashion trends
engulfing
theIndian
fashion insignia
of saris, dhotis
and other
indigenousacces
sories, both the
administrative
and commercial
capitals of India
will soon be
oblivious of the
traditional
Indian
clothingstyles.
In such case,
the question of
other cities
facing
the samefate
will only
enhance the
shame of our
country for
losing her age-
long identity.If
the cut of the
costume
indicates
intellect and
talent, the
color indicates
temper and
heart. Fashion
and textiles
will continue
to be one of the
most important
sectors of the
Indian Economy.
