During the eighteenth century, Paris was the centre of the fashion industry and, like today, the fashions changed (2) He wanted other countries to know about Paris fashions, so he sent fashion dolls to Europe Dressmakers could then copy the clothes, footwear and hats on the dolls
In recent years, music, films, videos, books and TV have all influenced what people wear .(3) Then in the 1990s, hip hop was very popular and young people dressed in baggy trousers and hooded tops and boots Ray-Ban sold thousands of pairs of sunglasses after Will Smith wore them in the film Men In Black If he’d worn a different type of sunglasses, they would have become popular instead
Young people often choose their clothes in order to be part of a group The members of the group have the same interests, and have names such as goths, skaters or rappers .(4) If a young person is a goth, for example, they wear black clothes If somebody is a rapper, they often wear baggy jeans and lots of jewellery
Style can show what kind of music you like, or what group you belong to .(5) In the 1970s, people wore badges to show what they thought about important issues In the 1990s, Katherine Hamnett, a top British fashion designer, became popular when her T-shirts with messages such as ‘Preserve the rainforests’ were worn by different rock bands In 2005, people at the Live concerts wore white wrist-bands with the message ‘Make poverty history’
