2.3 Factors impact on fashion industry

2.3.1 Political influence

Politics has played a central role in the development of fashion.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was a fashion icon of the early 1960s because she led the trend of formal dress Kennedy helps women change their look and fashion sense in a more modern direction, no longer confined to formal dresses or overly styled hairstyles As fashion historian Valerie Steele once said, "She used the modernity of fashion to say that her government was young, very modern, and a thought leader."

The political revolution also has a great impact on fashion trends

In 1940, during the Second World War, many countries experienced a recession People had less money to spend and women started to use shorter skirts and less clothes because it was cheaper During this period, leather jackets and t-shirts became very popular

Furthermore, the political movement has built an impressive relationship with fashion trends.

During the Vietnam War, young Americans created a movement that influenced the whole A fashion trend filled with fluorescent colors, prints, fringe vests and skirts became the 1960s protest wear In the mid-1960s in the United States, the rebel elements in San Francisco made a powerful and resounding revolution, bringing a new step to the modern fashion scene: the hippie style The different styles in the costumes make people feel weird, even unusual, but have a liberal and free-flowing character And this style is still influencing current fashion trends

2.3.2 Culture factor

Culture plays an essential role in the fashion industry Cultural changes influence the fashion created by the people in that specific culture or location All over the world, there are various cultures comprising millions of people following different fashion trends The culture of the people ensures that the fashion accessories and clothes meet certain goals or objectives Culture also influences design and fabric selection For example, people living in extremely cold climates have thick fashion clothes in order to adapt to the drastic weather while remaining stylish Designers can choose from and make use of indigenous materials abundant in a particular place This will create a strong local identity It not only shows a clear cultural identity, marking the sacredness of the event, but also shows religious and spiritual conceptions; on the other hand, it is also a mirror reflecting the moral, psychological, lifestyle, and customs of each ethnic community and an opportunity for people to show their personalities and bravery in front of the community.

As fashion constantly changes, designers keep up with the trends, modify designs, and choose fabrics, colors, and textures to adapt to a certain culture (or trend) at the same time The change in fashion is always renewed through each era, but those who imitate the way of dressing of their predecessors also never lose their own inherent identity, still keeping the original style and foundation, always exuding the beauty of humans Thereby,
