Fashion<\/strong> is a term used interchangeably to describe the creation of clothing<\/a>, footwear<\/a>, accessories<\/a>, cosmetics<\/a>, and jewellery<\/a> of different cultural aesthetics<\/a> and their mix and match into outfits<\/a> that depict distinctive ways of dressing (styles<\/a> and trends<\/a>) as signifiers of social status<\/a>, self-expression<\/a>, and group belonging. As a multifaceted term, fashion describes an industry<\/a>, styles, aesthetics, and trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term ‘fashion’ originates from the Latin word ‘Facere,’ which means ‘to make,’ and describes the manufacturing, mixing, and wearing of outfits adorned with specific cultural aesthetics, patterns, motifs<\/a>, shapes, and cuts, allowing people to showcase their group belonging, values, meanings, beliefs, and ways of life. Given the rise in mass production of commodities<\/a> and clothing at lower prices and global reach, reducing fashion’s environmental impact<\/a> and improving sustainability<\/a> has become an urgent issue among politicians, brands, and consumers.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
