In the mid-19th century, almost all clothing was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. By the start of the 20th century—with the rise of new technologies such as the sewing machine, the rise of global capitalism and the development of the factory system of production, and the proliferation of retail outlets such as department stores—clothing had increasingly come to be mass-produced in standard sizes and sold at fixed prices. Although the fashion industry developed first in Europe and America, today it is an international and highly globalized industry, with clothing often designed in one country, manufactured in another, and sold in a third.

About

We deal with fashion every day. Even for those who say they don’t care about what they wear, choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day. One certain thing in the fashion industry is change. We are constantly having new fashion ideas from TV, music, videos and books.

While many people give different importance to fashion, it is normal to be engaged in a conversation that speaks about it. Many like to discuss it because fashion and style can influence how you will be perceived and treated. It can suggest something about your background and orientation.

Some reasons why we wear what we wear

• Protection from weather - avoiding overexposure to heat, cold and rain
• Physical attraction - any styles are worn to inspire
• Emotions - we dress “up” when we’re happy and “down” when we’re upset.
• Religious expression - Islamic women cover every part of their body except their eyes
• Identification and tradition - judges wear robes, people in the military wear uniforms, brides wear long white dresses.
