Introduction to Fashion and Clothing

Fashion and clothing refer to the styles of dress that are currently popular or were popular in the past. Fashion can change quickly, influenced by cultural trends, celebrities, and designers. Clothing, on the other hand, includes the garments themselves which can be made from various materials such as cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. This topic covers everything from everyday wear to haute couture and traditional costumes.
