1. Fashion and Design

2. Fashion
 The French word mode, meaning "fashion", dates as far back as 1482, while
the English word denoting something "in style" dates only to the 16th century.
Other words exist related to concepts of style and appeal that precede mode.
In the 12th and 13th century Old French the concept of elegance begins to
appear in the context of aristocratic preferences to enhance beauty and
display refinement, and cointerie, the idea of making oneself more attractive
to others by style or artifice in grooming and dress, appears in a 13th-century
poem by Guillaume de Lorris advising men that "handsome clothes and
handsome accessories improve a man a great deal".[4]

3. Meaning
 Fashion is a form of self-expression and autonomy at a particular period and
place and in a specific context,
of clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body
posture.[1] The term implies a look defined by the fashion industry as that
which is trending. Everything that is considered fashion is available and
popularized by the fashion system (industry and media).
 Given the rise in mass production of commodities and clothing at lower prices
and global reach, sustainability has become an urgent issue among politicians,
brands, and consumers

4. History of fashion
 Changes in clothing often took place at times of economic or social change, as
occurred in ancient Rome and the medieval Caliphate, followed by a long
period without significant changes. In eighth-century Moorish Spain, the
musician Ziryab introduced to Córdoba[14][unreliable
source][15] sophisticated clothing styles based on seasonal and daily fashions
from his native Baghdad, modified by his inspiration. Similar changes in
fashion occurred in the 11th century in the Middle East following the arrival
of the Turks, who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far
East.

5. Design
 A design is a plan or specification for the construction of an object or system
or for the implementation of an activity or process or the result of that plan
or specification in the form of a prototype, product, or process. The verb to
design expresses the process of developing a design. In some cases, the direct
construction of an object without an explicit prior plan (such as in craftwork,
some engineering, coding, and graphic design) may also be considered to be a
design activity. The design usually has to satisfy certain goals and constraints;
may take into account aesthetic, functional, economic, or socio-political
considerations; and is expected to interact with a certain environment.
Typical examples of designs
include architectural and engineering drawings, circuit diagrams, sewing
patterns and less tangible artefacts such as business process models

6. History of design
 Study of the history of design is complicated by varying interpretations of
what constitutes ‘designing’. Many design historians, such as John Heskett,
start with the Industrial Revolution and the development of mass
production.[4] Others subscribe to conceptions of design that include pre-
industrial objects and artefacts, beginning their narratives of design in
prehistorical times.[5] Originally situated within art history, the historical
development of the discipline of design history coalesced in the 1970s, as
interested academics worked to recognize design as a separate and legitimate
target for historical research.[6] Early influential design historians include
German-British art historian Nikolaus Pevsner and Swiss historian and
architecture critic Sigfried Giedion.

7. Design education
 Institutions for design education date back to the nineteenth century.
The Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry was founded in
1818, followed by the United Kingdom's Government School of
Design (1837), Konstfack in Sweden (1844), and Rhode Island School of
Design in the United States (1877). The German art and design
school Bauhaus, founded in 1919, greatly influenced modern design
education.[7]
 Design education covers the teaching of theory, knowledge and values in the
design of products, services and environments, and focusses on the
development of both particular and general skills for designing. It is primarily
orientated to preparing students for professional design practice, and based
around project work and studio or atelier teaching methods.
