Fashion, |
|
a general term for a currently
popular style or practice, especially in clothing, foot
wear or accessories. Fashion references to anything that
is the current trend in look and dress up of a person.
The more technical term, costume, has become so linked
in the public eye with the term "fashion" that the more
general term "costume" has in popular use mostly been
relegated to special senses like fancy dress or
masquerade wear, while the term "fashion" means clothing
generally, and the study of it. For a broad
cross-cultural look at clothing and its place in
society, refer to the entries for clothing, costume and
fabrics. |
