On this page, you will find areas of interest that begin with the letter "H".
The H letter mixes the luxury end of the business with everyday working vocabulary. Haute couture, high end fashion and high fashion describe the top of the market and how it is positioned, while haberdashery, the hand of fabric and heat transfer labels describe the notions, fabric feel and labeling that production and retail depend on. Alongside those sit history entries for hosiery and sarongs, seasonal entries for Halloween and the holiday retail season, and practical consumer topics such as honeymoon clothing and hat head. Each entry stands on its own page so a reader who lands on one term can follow the directory list above to its neighbors.
The H section of the directory covers haberdasher and haberdashery, hairdressers, hairstylists and barbers, Halloween fashion and Halloween costumes, the hand of fabric, handbag brands, hat head, haute couture and prêt-à-porter, heat transfer labels, high end fashion, high fashion, the history of hosiery, the history of sarongs, holiday fashion retail, honeymoon clothing and hooker boots — each linked from the term list on this page.
Every H term has its own page with a definition and explanation written for the apparel, fashion and textile industries. The list on this page links to each of them, and the Fashion Terms Directory links onward to the other letter directories.
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.
