Most often, fashion is seen as ‘the industry’, the creative expression of designers, fashion houses, and brands. It’s an international business with a worldwide presence and the ability to cause economic waves. The word ‘fashion’ also means something popular or in style, something ‘of the moment’. What’s ‘in fashion’ at any one moment speaks to wider trends in society, politics, and the arts. But, fashion is also an art, our clothes are woven into our history and heritage.
