The history of clothing begins with the origin of man, and
fashionable dress can be traced as far back as 25,000 years ago.
Recent scientific explorations have uncovered graves in northern
Russia with skeletons covered in beads made of mammoth ivory that
once adorned clothing made of animal skin. The Ancient Egyptians,
Greeks, and Romans each made major contributions to fashion's
legacy from their textile innovations, unique clothing designs and
their early use of accessories, cosmetics, and jewelry. During the
Middle Ages, "fashion trends" emerged as trade and commerce thrived
allowing the merchant class to afford to emulate the fashions worn
by royals. However, it is widely believed that fashion didn't
became an industry until the industrial and commercial revolution
during the latter part of the 18th century. Since then, the
industry has grown exponentially. Today, fashion is one of the
biggest businesses in the world, with hundreds of billions of
dollars in turnover and employing tens of millions of workers. It
is both a profession, an industry, and in the eyes of many, an art.
The A to Z of the Fashion Industry examines the origins and history
of this billion-dollar industry. This is done through a chronology,
an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of
cross-referenced entries on designers, models, couture houses,
significant articles of apparel and fabrics, trade unions, and the
international trade organizations.
