HISTORY OF FASION

This article is about the history of fashion design since 1900. Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. The modern fashion industry, based around firms or fashion houses run by individual usually male designers, started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created.
