Fashion styles, fabrics, and trends go beyond simply being basic aesthetic values enjoyed by modern society.   The shirts, pants, shoes, jackets, or dresses that we wear are important components that help form our individual lifestyle.  Clothes emerge as an expressive tool for designers to deliver their message to the world. As consumers decide which message they wish to embrace by making purchases, they send a strong signal regarding their current and possible future preferences.  Clever companies will take notice and design their next collection accordingly.
