FASHION AND STYLE
FASHION AND STYLE
when its comes to the definition of fashion, Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses or to prevailing styles in behavior. Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers.[1] The more technical term costume has become so linked to the term "fashion" that the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" means clothing more generally, including the study of it.
THE FASHION INDUSTRY
However, by any measure, the clothing industry accounts for a significant share of world economic output. The fashion industry is a product of the modern age. Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom-made. It was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. By the beginning 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.

THIS ARE THE FOUR LEVEL THAT INDUSTRY CONSIST
1. The production of raw materials, principally fibers and textiles but also leather
2. The production of fashion goods by designers, manufacturers, contractors, etc.
3. Retail sales, AND various kinds of advertising and promotion.
"Ethnic Fashion" is defined as the fashion of multicultural groups such as African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, etc. Examples of ethnic designers are Sean John. It is estimated that Ethnic Fashion has contributed over $25 billion in revenues, thus making it an important part of the fashion industry.
