From the first animal skin body coverings, to today's high fashion
collections, fashion has held an important role in the evolution of
mankind. The fashion industry has, and continues to make, major
contributions to our cultural and social environment. It is an
industry that responds to our inherent longing for tribal
belonging, our socio-economic needs, individual lifestyles, status
stratification and profession apparel requirements. The fashion
industry is fast-paced, complex and ever changing, in response to
consumer needs. Throughout the world, vast numbers of people
contribute to this industry, each with the shared goal of supplying
an end product of a particular price point directed at a target
consumer. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the
Fashion Industry contains a chronology, an introduction,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 1,400 cross-referenced entries on designers, models,
couture houses, significant articles of apparel and fabrics, trade
unions, and the international trade organizations. This book is an
excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to
know more about the fashion industry.
