Although the fashion industry developed first in Europe and America, as of 2017, it is an international and highly globalized industry, with clothing often designed in one country, manufactured in another, and sold worldwide. For example, an American fashion company might source fabric in China and have the clothes manufactured in Vietnam, finished in Italy, and shipped to a warehouse in the United States for distribution to retail outlets internationally. The fashion industry was for a long time one of the largest employers in the United States, and it remains so in the 21st century. However, U.S. employment in fashion began to decline considerably as production increasingly moved overseas, especially to China. Because data on the fashion industry typically are reported for national economies and expressed in terms of the industry's many separate sectors, aggregate figures for the world production of textiles and clothing are difficult to obtain. However, by any measure, the cloth

The term fashion is plagued by its many different uses, and by the unclear application of the concept. For example, the term connotes difference, but also sameness. It signifies the latest distinction, as well as the return of the old. While it may be defined by an insular and esteemed aesthetic elite, who make a look exclusive, this look is often using references from those excluded from making the distinction. Whereas a trend often connotes a peculiar aesthetic expression and often lasting shorter than a season, fashion is a distinctive and industry-supported expression traditionally tied to the fashion season and collections. Style is an expression that lasts over many seasons and is often connected to cultural movements and social markers, symbols, class, and culture (ex. Baroque, Rococo, etc.). According to sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, fashion connote Even though the terms are often used together, fashion differs from clothing and costumes — "clothing" describes the mate

    Who says that the Milanese are conservative and bourgeois? Veronica Etro doesn’t buy into that narrative. “My father Gimmo founded the house of Etro in 1968, so we as a company were born at a time of barricades and youth revolution,” she said at a showroom appointment. “As much as we value tradition, there’s a rebellious spirit which runs in our family, a flair for adventure, open-mindedness, and eccentricity.” It’s a mindset she’s been making good use of lately, steering the label on a stronger, younger course. Less Lady of the Canyon and more radical rock chick, perhaps? “I didn’t want to be too romantic—at least for this collection!” she said. It’s to Etro’s credit that she’s been the driving force behind a rather unexpected (and extremely successful) collaboration with the Italian rock band Måneskin, whose fearless outfits caused quite a stir at the Sanremo Music Festival in March. On a roll to international stardom, the band recently scooped up the first prize at Eurovision So

   2 years ago 12 min read In a bid to support local fashion designers, back in 2017, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, an Award-winning author, launched a “Wear Nigerian Campaign,” where she decided to dress in Nigerian brands in all her public appearances. The motive of her campaign was to sensitize and encourage people to buy from both upcoming, as well as established designers, in order to boost local trade and manufacturing. Adichie announced her new venture via her Facebook page where she wrote… “In the past few weeks, I’ve bought more Nigerian brands than I ever have in the past. I’ve discovered new names. I’ve been filled with admiration for the women and men running their businesses despite the many challenges they face. I’m particularly interested in ‘inward-looking’ brands, those for whom dressing Nigerian women is as important as other goals.” Nigeria is a fashion powerhouse not only on the African continent, but globally. Numerous Nigerian fashion designers have won accolades for

Shoulders Should appear smooth and feel comfortable. Seam should lie on top of the shoulder. In regular styles the arm syce seam should fall on edge of the wearers shoulder. The shoulders of the garment should be wide enough so that the sleeves hang smoothly. If the shoulders are too narrow, the sleeves will pull across the upper arm and cause wrinkles. If fashion trends require the shoulders to be narrow or wider the pattern still should allow sufficient movement. The shoulder slope of the garment should match the shoulder slope of the wearer Neckline necklines should be large enough to fit without pulling or chafing but not so large that it doesn’t lie flat against the body in front and back. The front of the basic neckline should always be lower than that of the back.

Introduction Fit refers to how well a garment conforms to the three-dimensional human body. Good fit is crucial to one’s satisfaction. However, it is often easier to find clothes in right colours, prices and style that one likes than a well-fitted garment. The effect of a stunning design, gorgeous fabric and exquisite workmanship are destroyed if the finished garment doesn’t fit well to the intended wearer. Fit problems may be caused due to careless design, construction or may be the result of individual characteristics of an individual’s body. No two bodies are alike, and sometimes even the left and right halves of the same body are not mirror images of each other. New technology promises to overcome these problems; a new computer system can optically measure an individual’s body in three dimensions. This data is then converted to a computerised, individual pattern, a man’s suit designed by this method is ready to be cut out and ready to sew within 7 minutes of receipt of the measurem

Introduction A major question that arises in ones mind at the time of purchasing fabric for any garment is how much to buy? It is a very important question and to be able to give an objective reply, it requires a person to be an expert in pattern development and an expert in making an economical layout. For the garment industry, this is of crucial importance, as even minimal saving of 5cms of fabric in a shirt would result in 50 meters being saved in a lot of 1000 shirts. At Rs. 80 per meter it would save Rs. 4000/-, which is a substantial amount of saving for a producer. Generally an expert is able to save as much as 25 - 30cms in a garment easily even for a single shirt that is a big saving in the made to measurement sector of the apparel industry. Imagine a stage where one buys minimum of 50cms extra than the required amount, so that one does not run short of fabric while cutting. The amount of money that is being spent on extra fabric, which goes waste and is thrown out or that col
