few decades ago, it has undergone a huge transition. In the early
90's, most of the fashion material used to be custom made or hand
made, but as the advancements and technological boom took place
during the capitalism phase, slowly machines replaced the hand labor,
which resulted in better finishing of the goods and even the meaning
of selling changed. The industry of today is not just limited to the
manufacturing of fashion clothing and fashion accessories, but
also holds it's importance in the education sector, selling not just
via the traditional methods but also through the popular online
shopping websites, media, holds importance in promoting social causes
and also has anthropological perspective to it.

great role to be played when it comes to fashion. Fashion journalism,
for example is an important wing of fashion. With the boom of social
media websites, almost everybody is aware of the latest around. This
'latest' may refer to clothing, a hotspot for a vacation, popular
breed of pets that people are clicking photographs with and posting
them on such social media websites. Anything that is trending, in
general, is general referred to as a latest trend or latest fashion.
With so much of awareness in today's times, and media such as print
magazines, television, fashion websites etc. It is very important to
