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.
