Fashion is the art and industry of clothing, of making garments and their accessories. The word fashion means custom and comes from the Latin 'modus'. Fashion reflects the collective and changing taste of society in a given time and place. Fashion is also a way of expressing the identity and personality of each individual.
It was then that professional tailors began to create original costumes, in bright colors and imaginative shapes, giving great importance to sleeves, pleats and drapes. Fashion became a sign of social and cultural distinction, and adapted to the historical, political, economic and artistic changes of each era.
Since then, fashion has evolved over the centuries, following the trends that marked the catwalks, magazines, celebrities and music.
Fashion has reflected the social, cultural and aesthetic movements of each moment, from baroque to rococo, from neoclassicism to romanticism, from modernism to art deco, from minimalism to pop art, from hippie to punk, from grunge to glam.
Today, fashion is a global industry that moves billions of dollars a year. Fashion is also an art form that seeks to innovate and surprise with new proposals. Fashion is also a form of communication that conveys values and emotions. Fashion is also a way of life that accompanies us in our daily lives.
