Fashion has always been humanity's most dramatic way of saying, 'Look at me!' TRENDS are styles that become wildly popular for a period of time before vanishing faster than your New Year's resolutions. The word 'fashion' itself comes from the Latin word 'factio,' meaning 'the act of making.' Throughout history, what people wore communicated their SOCIAL status, their beliefs, and sometimes their absolutely baffling sense of aesthetics. CLOTHING choices have always been a visual language — one that occasionally shouts, 'I have no idea what I was thinking.' The study of fashion history is called COSTUME history, and it reveals just as much about a culture as its art, politics, or cuisine.
