Fashion is also related to the culture and weather in any place.

FASHION AND CULTURE GO HAND-IN-HAND AND ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME TRENDING COIN!

The more you learn about fashion and new cultures of the geography you are targeting… The more you can create fashion trends for that culture.

Without even saying, culture and fashion – together – can help you learn about the future of global consumerism along with its effects on trends.

HOW CAN WE SAY THEY’RE CORRELATED?

As we know, adhering to the latest fashion means you’re wearing what’s trending.
After all, the fashion industry’s goal is to make the audience look good.

For us (customers), fashion is about making a fashion statement – through a combination of accessories and clothes.
This statement alone can set any one of us apart from the rest.

And a statement is a language – but this time, not a form of verbal communication.
Instead, our fashion is self-expression, a nonverbal form of communicating of where we come from or who we are. So in this sense, fashion can portray our culture also, in one way or another.

BUT DOES CULTURE INFLUENCE THE FASHION INDUSTRY?

Yes, it does. Cultural changes influence the fashion created by the people in that specific culture or location.
For example, all over the world, there are various cultures comprising millions of people following different fashion trends.

And without even saying, no two are the same. And no culture is static – just like fashion. It is dynamic and constantly changing with time passing by.

The culture of the People is that fashion accessories and clothes meet certain goals or objectives.
Culture also influences design and fabric selection. For example, designers can choose from and make use of indigenous materials abundant in a particular place. This will create a strong local identity.

That’s not all though. Today, many people also desire to imitate celebrities, who may or may not have the same cultural influences as they have.

On the other hand, people are enjoying the art of fashion. But most people tend to follow the cultural trends of their locale.
What they wear or how they get their fashion pieces together is influenced by their geographic location.

For example, people living in extremely cold climates have thick fashion clothes to adapt to the drastic weather while remaining stylish.

As fashion constantly changes, designers keep up with the trends, modify designs and choose Fabricolor and texture to adapt to a certain culture (or trend) at the same time.

And with that particular culture in mind, designers can create fashion accessories and clothing.
At the end of the day, culture influences fashion and vice versa.

Designers can only move towards creating a new design based on what they know about culture.

So when culture meets fashion, there is an unlimited opportunity to explore designs and come up with the latest fashion trends.

People from around the world wear their cultures proudly on their sleeves. They do not shy from any opportunities to showcase the brilliant vibrancy of their roots. Whether a modern twist on a traditional outfit or a traditional touch to an ultra-modern dress, it’s always a pleasure to wear your national attire.

Here are some men and women who don their traditional dresses with a feeling of pride and joy:

YALDA MOHSEN

Country: Afghanistan

I am Yalda Mohsen; my origin is from the “Tajik” tribe of Afghanistan. The name of my dress is “Afghan vintage Kochi.” It’s handmade and has lasted 30 years.

Country: Ethiopia

The traditional garb in Ethiopia has a unique and diverse appearance. Ethiopian garb is a beautiful, high-quality, handmade cotton called Shemma, which is woven in long strips and sewn together. Shiny threads are often woven into the fabric and patterned frequently. Habesha kermis is a dress designed with woven borders of colored handmade embroidery and matched with crosses called Masekela.

Masekela is commonly used as a tribute to this historical country’s most popular religious subsect – The Orthodox Christian…This garb can be seen in most parts of the country. Traditional clothing is worn daily by many people in the countryside. In larger cities, western- styled clothing has become increasingly popular over the years. However, many Ethiopians inside and outside the country, proudly wear their local clothing for special events such as weddings, holidays, and for church ceremonies.

SAKSHI SHETTY

Country: India

The saree and lehenga are 2 traditional attires worn by women in India. Sarees are 6 meters of embroidered cloth, wrapped around women with pleats and folds. Lehengas are usually 2 or 33-piece attires consisting of heavily embellished blouses, long skirts, and shawls.

Originally from Mangalore in the state of Karnataka in south India, these traditional dresses come in simple cotton material to lavish silk, organza, jute, and nylon. Indian women love enhancing these outfits with extensive jewelry and herbal hand tattoos (mehndi). Sarees and lehengas are the preferred outfit for weddings and festivals across regions and religions.

Country: Nigeria

African men have unique outfits which they wear at cultural events. The agbada is a 3-piece embroidered outfit consisting of a pair of trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, and a loose, and open-sleeved gown, usually all of a single color Sometimes, the men top off the outfit with a hat.

These traditional dresses are worn during religious ceremonies, marriages, and festivals and come in materials ranging from regular cotton to silk and other synthetic cloth. The Yoruba Agbada is handwoven and is considered sacred as it is sometimes passed down across the generations. It originates from the Igboland and Delta-city states in Nigeria. There is a lot of discussion about what fashion is, and what it means.

Is it just clothes? Are fashion and style different? Is fashion an art? Are there differences between fashion and “Fashion?”

Most often, fashion is seen as ‘the industry’. The creative expression of designers, fashion houses, and brands. It’s an international business with a worldwide presence and the ability to cause economic waves. Take France, for example, fashion is so important to the country socially and economically that the industry is regulated and supported quite heavily by the government.

But the word ‘fashion’ also means something popular or in style, something ‘of the moment’ – a zeitgeist. What’s ‘in fashion’ at any one moment speaks to wider trends in society, politics, and the arts. Trend forecasters like WGSN and others look at what’s happening in culture, to whether or not countries are becoming more nationalistic, or fluctuations in the economy, and relate that quite directly to the length of skirt hems and the silhouettes of garments. The clothes we wear represent who we are and, more importantly, who we want to be

Fashion speaks for us. It’s almost like a language. Rae Tutera, now a clothier and partner at Bindle & Keep, a bespoke suiting company based in New York City, knows this more than most. His job now sees him working with the LGBTQ community to create suits for his trans clients that help them mirror on the outside who they are on the inside. These visual cues not only provide self-affirmation and a confidence boost for the wearer but provide visual cues to others as to how to approach and identify them. Having gone through the experience himself as a trans man, Tutera, who is one of the subjects of the 2016 documentary Suited, feels a certain connection with his clients.
