What has fashion got to do with man’s existence on planet Earth? How did it come about? Is it a necessity or just one of man’s conceited tendencies? We can ask many such questions but we cannot deny that after our basic needs are met, we turn our attention to things that make us look and feel good. Who among us can honestly say that we abhor beauty and comfort? Newspaper caricatures and similar publications depict ancient man as wearing animal skin like a dress. Even their women wore the same design of clothing. How do their raiment compare with the clothes we wear today? What could have happened to clothes and fashion between their time and ours? We have to make do with guesses as to how it had developed and evolved into our modern attires because there are no written records that can help us confirm our guesses. The earliest descriptions of clothing after the animal skin era were of coats and robes worn by personages in the Bible and in fairy tales. Aladdin was already wearing pants but no one can be sure if it was true since he comes out of a fairy tale which is a product of the creative imagination of storytellers and writers. But whatever it was, there is a clear change in looks from ancient man’s animal skin body covering to Aladdin’s pants and Jasmine’s dress that seemed to made from cotton or silk. And there was a definite cut and style to their getup. Even if it was drawn from the author’s imagination, there had to be some basis to the clothes he clothed the heroes in his story. It had to be the stylish fashion in that era. Do you notice how the characters in those fairy tales and history books of ancient times also use jewellery? There were even descriptions of jewelled sword handles. Sandals worn by the nobility were made from the finest leather by the best craftsmen in the kingdom. Commoners found ways to be in step with fashion although in less expensive material and style. Was it not fashion they were talking about? Then and now fashion stays the same. No matter what some people say against it, fashion will always be here for us to delight in. It is art in clothing, footwear and other physical adornments. Modern fashion now even includes backpacks, handbags, office supplies, school supplies, etc. Even practical electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, laptops, netbooks and tablets are now influenced by fashion. They have to match with the lifestyle of their users. Who said fashion is exclusively for women’s wear only? Do you like designer clothing that is also comfortable?
