Fashion Terminology

Searching for the meaning of fashion is similar to searching for the meaning of life in many respects.  The question, "what is the meaning of life is as difficult a question to answer as "what is in fashion?"

The meaning of life, or the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?", pertains to the significance of living or existence in general. Many other questions also seek the meaning of life, including "What should I do?", "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" or even "Does life exist at all?"

The meaning of fashion raises similar questions.  Actually, without clothing we would have a rather difficult time with life in general.  The three basic necessities of life include food, shelter, and clothing.

By the way, reading fashion definitions in our glossary or terminology section does not mean you will become an enlightened fashionista.  However, it never hurts to spend time trying to improve your understanding of our industry.

Why must we try to define fashion?  Let's simply just enjoy what we are wearing today without racking our brains to figure out the origin or nuances of the words.  Do we need to know what boucle means or can we simply enjoy wearing our boucle sweaters?

Maybe we can't explain by using a glossary or definition list.  Possibly we simply need to explore the world of fashion so that we can see the various meanings first hand.

If you truly desire to know the meaning of fashion here is a brief summary, "Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, hairstyle and body. Fashion is a distinctive and often constant trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behavior and the newest creations of textile designers.  Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the term "fashion", the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" generally means clothing, including the study of it."  Honestly, we think the concept goes way beyond that short paragraph explanation.

It is always a good time to learn more about a subject of interest.

The word "fashion" is most often used as a synonym for the current style in clothing.
