Fashion

Fashion refers to the popular styles of clothing, accessories, and behavior that are prevalent at a particular time in a specific culture or society. It encompasses the design, production, and consumption of garments and the practices of sartorial expression. Fashion is both an art form and a means of personal expression, allowing individuals to showcase their identity, social status, and creativity.

It is influenced by cultural, social, economic, and political factors, changing continuously with trends, technologies, and consumer preferences. Fashion can be seen in various forms, including haute couture, ready-to-wear, and streetwear, and is often associated with fashion designers, industry leaders, and fashion events like runway shows. While primarily linked to clothing, fashion can extend to hairstyles, makeup, and even lifestyle choices. The industry itself is a major economic force, involving diverse sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and advertising, with significant impact on global trade and culture.
