Fashion refers to styles or trends in clothing, accessories, and behaviors that are popular at a given time. The history of fashion design began in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth, who is considered the first fashion designer. Fashion changes over time due to factors like trends, culture, religion, age, gender, and area. It is an important part of identity and allows people to express themselves. Fashion awareness has grown through education programs and it is now a significant global industry and source of income.
