Fashion is the prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior. Fashion means the usage accepted by those who want to be up-to-date.

Until now, its motive power does not change. That is to say, clothing is the physical form which is most close to human body. People’s demand for clothing is the direct reflection of the original material and spiritual needs of human beings. This fundamentally determines the nature of fashion design based on “people-oriented” and the overall development trend. But, along with the social material continuous abundance, it seems that the higher requirements of material and spiritual of clothing for human, the more difficult to meet. This put forward higher request to the designers who have entered or will enter the garment industry.
