Fashion is the way people dress, usually to reflect their personality, attitudes and beliefs. It is a form of cultural expression and can be used as a vehicle for political and social change. The industry generates over one trillion dollars in annual sales and employs 430 million people worldwide. It is considered the world’s most influential and powerful industry.

Fashion can also be a way to signal membership
