History of fashion..

Fashion, a general term for the style and custom prevalent at a given time, in its most common usage refers to costume or clothing style.

The more technical term, costume, has become so linked in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more general term "costume" has in popular use mostly been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing generally, and the study of it. This linguistic switch is due to the fashion plates which were produced during the Industrial Revolution, showing the latest designs.^{[citation needed]} For a broad cross-cultural look at clothing and its place in society, refer to the entries for clothing, costume and fabrics. The remainder of this article deals with clothing fashions in the Western world

The continually changing fashions of the West have been generally unparalleled either in antiquity or in the other great civilizations of the world until recent decades. Early Western travellers, whether to Persia, Turkey, Japan or China frequently remark on the absence of changes in fashion there, and observers from these other cultures comment on the unseemly pace of Western fashion, which many felt suggested an instability and lack of order in Western culture. The Japanese Shogun's secretary boasted (not completely accurately) to a Spanish visitor in 1609 that Japanese clothing had not changed in over a thousand years. However in Ming China, for example, there is considerable evidence for rapidly changing fashions in Chinese clothing.

Changes in costume often took place at times of economic or social change (such as in ancient Rome and the medieval Caliphate), but then a long period without large changes followed. This occurred in Moorish Spain from the 8th century, when the famous musician Ziryab introduced sophisticated clothing styles based on seasonal and daily timings from his native Baghdad and his own inspiration to Córdoba, Spain. changes in fashion occurred in the Middle East from the 11th century, following the arrival of the Turks who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far East.

The beginnings of the habit in Europe of continual and increasingly rapid change in styles can be fairly reliably dated to the middle of the 14th century, to which historians including James Laver and Fernand Braudel date the start of Western fashion in clothing. The most dramatic manifestation was a sudden drastic shortening and tightening of the male over-garment, from calf-length to barely covering the buttocks, sometimes accompanied with stuffing on the chest to look bigger. This created the distinctive Western male outline of a tailored top worn over leggings or trousers.

The pace of change accelerated considerably in the following century, and women and men's fashion, especially in the dressing and adorning of the hair, became equally complex and changing. Art historians are therefore able to use fashion in dating images with increasing confidence and precision, often within five years in the case of 15th century images. Initially changes in fashion led to a fragmentation of what had previously been very similar styles of dressing across the upper classes of Europe, and the development of distinctive national styles, which remained very different until a counter-movement in the 17th to 18th centuries imposed similar styles once again, finally those from Ancien Régime in France. Though the rich usually led fashion, the increasing affluence of early modern
Europe led to the
bourgeoisie and even peasants following trends at a distance sometimes uncomfortably close for the elites - a factor Braudel regards as one of the main motors of chang
ing fashion.



Marie Antoinette was a fashion icon..

Ten 16th century portraits of German or Italian gentlemen may show ten entirely different hats, and at this period national differences were at their most pronounced, as Albrecht Dürer recorded in his actual or composite contrast of Nuremberg and Venetian fashions at the close of the 15th century (illustration, right). The "Spanish style" of the end of the century began the move back to synchronicity among upper-class Europeans, and after a struggle in the mid 17th century, French styles decisively took over leadership, a process completed in the 18th century.

Though colors and patterns of textiles changed from year to year, the cut of a gentleman's coat and the length of his waistcoat, or the pattern to which a lady's dress was cut changed more slowly. Men's fashions largely derived from military models, and changes in a European male silhouette are galvanized in theatres of European war, where gentleman officers had Albrecht Dürer's drawin contrasts a well turneoutbourgeoisefromNuremberg (left) with counterpart from Venice. The Venetian lady's high chopines make her taller (About photo)

opportunities to make notes of foreign styles: an example is the "Steinkirk" cravat or necktie.

The pace of change picked up in the 1780s with the increased publication of French engravings that showed the latest Paris styles; though there had been distribution of dressed dolls from France as patterns since the 16th century, and Abraham Bosse had produced engravings of fashion from the 1620s. By 1800, all Western Europeans were dressing alike (or thought they were): local variation became first a sign of provincial culture, and then a badge of the conservative peasant.

Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt responsible for many innovations before, and the textile industry certainly led many trends, the history of fashion design is normally taken to date from 1858, when the English-born Charles Frederick Worth opened the first true haute couture house in Paris. Since then the professional designer has become a progressively more dominant figure, despite the origins of many fashions in street fashion. The four major current fashion capitals are acknowleged to be Milan, New York City, Paris, and London. Fashion weeks are held in these cities, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences, and which are all headquarters to the greatest fashion companies and are renowned for their major influence on global fashion.

Modern Westerners have a wide choice available in the selection of their clothes. What a person chooses to wear can reflect that person's personality or likes. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes a fashion trend may start. People who like or respect them may start to wear clothes of a similar style.

Fashions may vary considerably within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation, and geography as well as over time. If, for example, an older person dresses according to the fashion of young people, he or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and older people. The terms fashionista or fashion victim refer to someone who slavishly follows the current fashions.

One can regard the system of sporting various fashions as a fashion language incorporating various fashion statements using a grammar of fashion. (Compare some of the work of Roland Barthes.)

Gap Fashion Reviews

They will be priced at $28 for a 3.4 oz spray.
Building on its long history of supporting the arts, today Gap introduced Artist Editions T-Shirts, a limited edition collection of t-shirts designed by 13 of today’s most influential contemporary artists, including Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, Kiki Smith, Cai Guo-Qiang, Barbara Kruger, Ashley Bickerton, Kenny Scharf, Glenn Ligon, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Kerry James Marshall, Hanna Liden and Sarah Sze.
The clothing at the Gap is made from very good quality material, this is not surprising, and it is because of this quality that the Gap clothing store is one of the leading places to purchase blue jeans. They have something for everyone in the family. Mom can go into the store and purchase a trendy and hip dress to wear for an evening out on the town. She can even grab a handbag and a pair of shoes to go with the dress. Dad can go and grab a nice quality T-shirt and a nice pair of dark denim blue jeans. They offer on a brand of clothing made especially for children; this clothing would be found underneath the name Gap Kids. Clothing for women at the Gap range from size zero and go all the way up to a size 24. This is especially good for plus size women tend to have a very hard time locating stores that specialize in their sizes. The good thing about buying your jeans from this store is that the sizes tend to run on the large side. A female that would normally wear a size 10, can walk out of the store with clothing in a size 8.
Gap the USA-based clothing retail store, promoted their Khaki line of clothes with a visual-effect-laden revival of swing music and dance. Gap -- Khakis Swing, a 1998 television commercial, introduced much of the world to what became known as ‘Bullet Time’. The 30 second ad featured khaki trousers-wearing dancers doing the lindy hop, the 1920s Harlem dance that inspired the Swing Era, with its jitterbug or swing moves.

Why a collection of 6 scents all at once, one might ask? "We wanted it to be a whole environment, and that's hard to do with one scent," said Laird. "These scents are light, so you can easily layer several of the products and not be over the top."The limited edition collection is available exclusively at select Gap stores in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and franchise markets, as well as online in the U.S. at It’s also available at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and at Colette, a Paris-based boutique. The t-shirts range in price from $28 to $38.Gap worked in close partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art and Art Production Fund to create the collection with the 13 artists, who are all previous Whitney Biennial participants. The Whitney Biennial is a special exhibition held every two years at the Whitney Museum of American Art that features the most important contemporary art in the United States. Gap is a proud sponsor of the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

Care For Your Dress

Care For Your Dress
Plus size dresses are today available aplenty in stores catering for plus size dresses. Understanding the need for plus size women needing new designs and dresses has led to a plethora of plus size dresses in the market of different materials, sizes and designs. It is up to you to choose the right plus size dress for yourself, and then care for it to get the most of it.

Today plus size dresses are available in numerous styles and fabrics that make plus size women feel really attractive. However it is necessary to know how to hand wash and care for the dresses to have a beautiful wardrobe. The washing machine is a great means of getting plus size dresses into pieces while some plus sizes have to be hand washed to remain in shape. So to make your wardrobe last and look longer, wash all fragile items gently, by hand.

The plus sized clothing that has to be hand washed includes lingerie like silk, satin and lace bras and undergarments. Silk clothes are usually thin, and are not usually colorfast. This is why its color may run when washed with other clothes. Though satin clothes may retain its color, it tends to get pilly when washed in a washing machine. In the case of lace clothing, there is a tendency of lace clothing getting caught on other clothing and tearing. This is why handmade lace has to be hand washed for added protection so that you can take great care of expensive handmade lace.

It is always better to read the clothing care labels of the plus size dresses you buy. Read the labels carefully and follow whatever instructions found here. So if you find a label that states ‘hand wash in cool water’ all you have to do is to gather the hand washable plus size dresses and sort them by color.

Then the bright and strong colored plus size dresses have to be washed separately. It is better to start with the whites or the light colored dresses by placing them in a sink that is full of cool water. Squeeze about a teaspoon of gentle detergent in the water and then sud the clothes using hands. It is okay to add a drop of detergent to the strongly stained areas by rubbing the spot gently with fingers. However, remember to never twist of wring delicate clothing as the material only gets spoiled in the process.

After washing the clothes, rinse them in cool water and then squeeze gently to get rid of water. The bras and other lightweight garments have to be hung to dry while the heavier clothing like cashmere sweaters have to be shaped by your hands and laid flat on thick towels to dry. However it may be needed to change the towels used for drying, once or twice. And then once the garments are nearly dry, you just have to hang them out in the air, to get rid of all remaining dampness in the dress.

Mens Fashion Clothing: Choosing the Right Tie For Your Shirt

Mens fashion clothing is all about wearing clothes and other accessories that make you look better. Necktie is one of the accessories that have become an essential part of mens fashion clothing now. Matching necktie with a shirt is not a big deal for some people that use to wear neckties for a long time but for most of people, it is a big problem to match an appropriate necktie for shirt. For men that find it difficult to match a suitable tie for their shirts there are some basics that will help them to choose the right one for their shirt.

White plain shirts

In mens fashion clothing plain white shirts are the easiest selection because the selection of tie for plain white shirt is not a big deal. You can choose any color tie with these shirts. The most appropriate option is to select the tie color matching your trouser.

Solid color plain shirts

In mens fashion clothing for solid color shirts like red, yellow, blue, purple etc you can match tie of either same color or make a contrast. Using a same color tie is very easy and very old trend in mens fashion clothing. Making contrast is choosing a tie with different color from shirt in a way that will go well. Some famous contrasts in mens fashion clothing are: A pink shirt with burgundy or navy blue tie, a pale blue shirt with a red, yellow, burgundy, navy or gold tie, a pale tan shirt with any brown shade tie. These colors are also known as coordinating colors in mens fashion clothing because the color of tie coordinates with a different color shirt.

Striped shirts
