Fashion
Fashion is the form of clothing, accessories, and furniture. It includes the way we wear clothes in a particular time and place.[2] Fashion is also one way we can make ourselves look more attractive.
It is related to culture, but also to weather and to the history of the country we live in. For example, we have warm clothes in the Swedish fashion and we have thin clothes in the African fashion.
Fashion includes clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body posture.[3]
The history of modern fashion design is generally understood to date from 1858 when the English-born Charles Frederick Worth opened the first authentic haute couture house in Paris.
