The Intersection of Fashion and Today’s Society is more than just a business—it conjures society’s dreams, challenges its norms, and reflects back what it believes about itself. From a dynastic silk dress in dynastic China to the corseted ball gowns of eighteenth century England, there has been a wide variety of garments and accessories that have helped people express their style, whether to assert power or rebel against it.
The Intersection of Fashion and Today’s Society
From the rise of streetwear to the collaboration between Supreme and Basquiat, there are many ways that fashion and art intersect. Fashion has become a canvas for artistic expression, while art serves as a source of inspiration for designers. The convergence of these two disciplines opens up a world of possibilities for those looking to pursue a career in the industry.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, an accelerating interest in 3D virtual technologies—VR (Virtual Reality); AR (Augmented Reality), and XR (Extended Reality, usually an overarching term that encompasses both of these and more)—has allowed the fashion industry to explore new possibilities for designing and selling clothing. This translates into a virtual showroom for the fashion buyer, allowing them to experiment with different styles and sizes before they purchase—either in stores or on their computers.
This trend also extends to sustainability projects, enabling companies to reduce their environmental footprint and cater to consumers who are interested in eco-friendly options. From biodegradable textiles to upcycled materials, there are many exciting innovations on the horizon that will change the way we shop for clothes.
