In the perspective of costume history, it is plain that the dress of any given period is exactly suited to the actual climate of the time. Nobody really knows. Once identified, fashions begin to change. Fashion shows display looks created by professional designers. The apparel oft proclaims the man.
Fashion is a state of mind.
A spirit, an extension of one's self. Fashion talks, it can be an understated whisper, a high-energy scream or an all knowing wink and a smile. Most of all fashion is about being comfortable with yourself, translating self-esteem into a personal style. Fashion is a means of self-expression that allows people to try on many roles in life. It's a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live.
