Fashion Terms — the Apparel Search fashion terminology directory
This section contains concepts and terms that are of interest to members of the apparel industry, fashion industry or textile industry. The goal of this area is to provide information formatted around key topics of interest to the industry in which we work, as well as to the ultimate consumer of fashion products. On this page, you will find areas of interest that begin with the letter “F”. Because the word “fashion” itself begins with F, this is one of the largest letters in the directory, and the F terms are spread across three directory pages.

On this page, you will find areas of interest that begin with the letter "F".
The F letter is dominated by one word: fashion. Alongside the two fabric entries that open the list — testing methods and utilization, the quality and efficiency measures of textile production — nearly every other F term is a branch of the fashion idea itself: the fashion business and its copyrights, fashion colors and forecasting, fashion bloggers, clubs and discussion groups, fashion apps and games, and the people words, from celebrities to divas. The three directory pages keep the letter navigable: start here for the fabric and early fashion terms, then follow the page links at the bottom of the term list for the rest of the letter.
The F section covers fabric testing methods and fabric utilization, fall fashion, the misspelling fashin, fashion accessories, affiliate programs, apps, bloggers, boutiques, Fashion Bug, fashion business, fashion by numbers, fashion celebrities, clubs, collections, color cues and colors, copyrights, databases, design studios, disasters, discussion groups, divas, forecasting, fashion forward, fashion games and fashion services — linked from the three F directory pages.
The F terms are listed across three directory pages because so many of them are built on the word fashion itself. This first page links the terms from fabric testing methods through fashion celebrities; the second and third F directory pages continue the list, and every term has its own page with a definition and explanation.
The terms are written for members of the apparel, fashion and textile industries and for consumers of fashion products who want a plain explanation of an industry concept.
