Fashion, as we know it, is a relatively new term. It reflects the social, political, economic, and artistic forces of any given era. In ancient and medieval times, clothing styles remained virtually unchanged for a century at a time. During the Renaissance, fashion change began to accelerate as Western civilization discovered new cultures, customs, and costumes.
The pace of fashion change has continually increased as new fabrics become available, design ideas develop, and people desire new things. You are about to discover how fashions throughout the ages have reflected the trends of how people think, live, and love.
