Fashion has been around since ancient times when people used clothing and accessories for protection, warmth and decoration. The earliest known clothing was made of animal skins, furs and plant fiber. In ancient egypt, clothing was a symbol of status and social class and different colours, materials and styles were reserved for the ruling class, priests and commoners.

In ancient Greece, fashion was influenced by art, literature and philosophy. The greeks were known for their simple, elegant and functional clothing, such as the chiton, a long, flowing garment worn by both men and women. The Romans, on the other hand, were more interested in luxury and extravagance, and their clothing was often adorned with jewels, gold and intricate embroidery.

In middle ages, fashion was influenced by religion, royalty and social hierarchy. The church dictated what people could wear and clothing was often used as a way to display wealth and power. The Renaissance brought a renewed interest in art, culture and humanism, and fashion because more sophisticated and ornate, with intricated designs and rich fabric.

In the 18th century, fashion became more democratic, as the middle class began to emulate the styles of the aristocracy. The industrial revolution brought new technologies and materials, such as the sewing machine and cotton, which made clothing more affordabled and accessible. In the 19th and 20th centuaries, fashion became more diverse and global, as designers and brands from different countries and cultures emerged and competed for influence and recognition.
