3. After world war I ended, the 20s saw some real activity in the realm of
modern fashion as a wave of prosperity and optimism swept through the US
and women began entering the work force. It was at this time Coco Chanel
during a trip to Venice came across wide-legged trousers and reinvented
them as X.
Rejecting the traditional restrictive perspective on women's wear, she made
the comfortable loose slacks a high fashion statement. The concept was born
out of the practicality of the pants in easily alighting gondolas.
These are long trousers, extremely wide leg that flares out from the waist
popular majorly in the summer season.
The pants became a fashion staple in the 30s for Hollywood actresses like
Greta Garbo and later Katharine Hepburn with revivals in the 60s and around
2013.

5. Palazzos

6. Origin of what convention ?
Historically, men always dressed themselves, and they were right-
handed, so it was just a matter of practicality. However, as women wore
more elaborate clothes they always had maids to help them get dressed.
Clothiers soon realized that it would become more practical for women if
the convention was reversed for women.
Many companies still follow this convention.

9. X is a global fashion brand based in Italy with a considerable presence in India. The
name of the company comes from the family name of its founder. However, how
we better know it today is because of a marketing campaign for the company in
1982 by Oliviero Toscani.
Under Toscani's direction, ads were created that contained striking images
unrelated to any actual products being sold by the company. These include a
deathbed scene of a man dying from AIDS, a black stallion covering a white
mare, close-up pictures of tattoos reading "HIV Positive" on the bodies of men and
women, a cemetery of many cross-like tombstones, a priest and nun about to
engage in a romantic kiss, an electric chair, an advert showing a boy with hair
shaped into the devil's horns and three different hearts with "black“, "white" and
"yellow" written onto them.
In 2011, the company launched a worldwide campaign to combat the ‘Culture of
Hatred’ and created UNHATE Foundation. Under this campaign an advertisement
was released showing Barack Obama kissing Hugo Chávez, President of Venezuela.

31. A woman’s footwear without a back strap is a X, the Delhi High Court has
ruled opposing the government’s contention that it was a Y. The issue
assumed significance as the export of X attract a 10 per cent customs duty
drawback, while that of ‘Y’ attracted only five per cent duty. The government
had withdrawn a 10 per cent duty drawback given to a footwear manufacturer
saying the footwear exported by it were ‘Y’ as these did not have back strap.
The Delhi High Court, while ruling that these were X, quashed the
government’s decision. Disagreeing with the government’s view, a bench of
justices S Ravindra Bhat and Najmi Waziri ruled, “The respondents (Centre and
the Revenue Department), in our opinion, acted upon prejudice and a
preconceived notion that ladies X cannot be without a back strap”.
