"History of Fashion & famous Fashion Designers"


1) According to the Encyclopedia, World Boook, V-7, 2005, Fashion is particular style that is popular for a few month or years. Fashion doesn not "only" referse to a style of clothing but also we speak of fashoin in automobies, furnite, music, liturature and art. The artilce reports that Fashion began to appear in Europe and Italy in the Middle age. From this article, I found 2 main reason of why people follow Fashion. First reason is that clothes people wear help people to express their identities and values. Another reason people follow fashion is to make themselves more attractive.
2) The Columbia Encyclopedia, 2-V, Sixth Edition, 1977. In this book I found many interesting articles, one of them was about my favorite Italian Fashion Designer Versace. According to the article, Gianni Versace became famous for designing flashy, sexy, beautifully cut outfits in strikingly extreme colors, patterns, fabrics, and leathers. Versace merged the worlds of fashion and entertainment. He had annual sales that exceeded $ 800 million. In May 1997, he was murdered on the steps of his Miami Beach, house by a fugitive serial killer. After Versace's death,his sister became company's chief designer.
3) General Encyclopedia gave me a general idea about fashion, but it was not enough for my research. In the Subject Encyclopedia I found out a brief definition of fashion. Also there were articles of the history of fashion and a lot of information about famous designers.
