WHAT IS FASHION ?

Are you interested in the fashion industry? But first you should know how it all began ...

The history of fashion is a history of people, society and art. During this past century, it was the couturiers and designers that laid the foundations of the modern fashion industry we know today. The liberation of women from corseted confinement, the creation of ready-to-wear clothing, logos, licensing, window displays, lifestyle brands, fashion shows, marketing and even protection of intellectual property rights, are each a direct result of the ingenuity, bravery and creative genius of individuals who were in their lifetimes stylistic and societal visionaries.

I'll be brief and I'll show you by images what fashion is:
