Fashion – the World Over

1 Today, dedicated followers of fashion look to cities such as New York City, London, Paris and
Milan for their inspiration and to buy the latest trends. The fashion scene changes with every
season and in many countries, this means that there are four collections – one each for spring,
summer, autumn and winter. The concept of fashion trends developed in the 14th century in
Europe, but what about fashion in the rest of the world?
2 Early Western travellers going to the East noted that fashion and styles changed slowly in
countries such as Persia, India, China and Japan. However, this was not always the case as there
was also evidence uncovered during the dynasty of Ming China of rapidly changing fashions in
Chinese clothing. History shows us that changes in costume often took place at times of
economic or social change, which occurred in ancient Rome and the medieval Arabian
Peninsula. Then a long period without major changes would follow.
3 At this time, most weaving, embroidery, cutting and stitching was hand-crafted by skilled
craftsmen and seamstresses. Many textiles originated in countries such as China, where exquisite
silks were produced and Turkey with its rich history of embroidery and clothing styles
influenced by Central Asia and the Far East. Until the mid-nineteenth century, in Europe and
America most clothing was therefore custommade by skilled dressmakers and tailors. This meant
that following fashion trends was clearly an expensive past-time.
4 In the twentieth century, mechanised production of textiles and the introduction of the sewing
machine dramatically changed the way fashionable garments were produced. It led the
development of haute couture and, much later, affordable branded clothing which was the
offshoot of haute couture. Mass production meant that clothing became much cheaper and more
widely available, yet at the same time was easily adapted to meet the designers’ demands. As
economies grew and people became more affluent, more people could afford to buy designer
clothing across the world.
5 To sum up, fashion is closely interlinked with the history of the world. Periods of rapid change
and movement of people influenced the textiles and styles that people chose to wear. Nowadays,
people are still extremely conscious about the way they dress for various occasions. Adolescents
and young adults feel very strongly about the brands they wear, whether it is for college, partying
or sportswear. Their parents feel the same about their own designer labels. There are designer or
boutique brands all over the world. In many Asian countries, local designers can charge a small
fortune for exclusive bridal wear, wedding attire and other formal wear.
