Fashion

The method is particularly characterized by the evolution of taste in clothing since the emergence in the nineteenth century, high fashion, economic sector organized around brands and creative individual. This appearance coincides with the emergence of a garment industry, affecting customers increasingly broad. ( James Hannaham, 2007, 48)

Directly linked to mutations affecting the lifestyles and values ??of societies (such as wars, periods of social upheaval) fashion undergoes during the reporting period, a paradoxical development. If haute couture, luxury activity par excellence, located at the border of crafts and industry, seem limited to an elite social or economic, it is part of a broader trend. (Niven, 2006, 352) Social differentiation is reduced through the garment, with this evolution, through the expansion of the garment and ready-to-wear.

Sometimes they are just small details that help or worsen your image as a person, hence the importance of caring for them. (McCabe, 2005, 1)

This is not to become carriers of the garments of the last fashions to look good. Neither of breaking heads to get branded clothing, or show a way to act differently than we have been, or to appropriate forms and attitudes of others. The key is to project personal safety, be kind to others and dress according to where we relate to others. Fashion is not only thin women who wear the latest outfits on the market.
