Fashion or being fashionable has been a trend since the 14th century in the west. Since then, fashion has spread all over the world and invaded country after country, especially the urban cities of the countries. Being fashionable has been sort of a status quo in every society. The more fashionable you are, the more you are regarded as an elite or a socialite person. With the popularity of fashion, it is not surprising that it has become a booming business worldwide.

 

Women nowadays are more particular than men when it comes to fashion. That is why women’s boutiques are more common than men’s in every city. Women are very fussy when it comes to what they wear. They won’t usually wear what is not in style; they would always be updated with the fashion trend. And with the trend shifting almost every year, so do the variety of clothes that women buy. So every boutique and fashion clothing store should always be well-run with the changes in style and trends so that they will not be left behind in the business.

 

With the abundance of the competition in the fashion clothing business, shop owners have to find ways not only to be up-to-date in fashion trends but also to find means to sell their designer clothes competitively. One way of doing this is purchasing wholesale, not only will it be much cheaper, you can also have more availability of clothes for your costumers to choose from. One factor that store owners should also consider is the quality of the fashion clothing that they are buying from manufacturers. Wholesaling clothes is sometimes not reliable in getting the clothes with the best quality so it is wise to shop around for fashion clothing supplier.

 

Luckily for fashion clothes shop owners and entrepreneurs, the internet has made the search for a clothing wholesaler much more convenient with the availability of online fashion clothing suppliers serving trendy and stylish clothes not only locally but internationally. One of these suppliers is the online sourcing mall CausewayMall, a clothing wholesaler who supplies most fashionable clothing and magazine style ladies apparel internationally. Its close relationships with clothing manufacturers enable the CausewayMall to offer mass produced very trendy and fashionably styled clothes.

 

CausewayMall not only offers fashion styles in the locale but also from other countries. Other Asian countries such as Japanese and Korean styles of clothing can also be ordered from this company. Hong Kong and Korean clothing and fashion wholesalers can buy from CausewayMall all the stylish party dresses, off price clothing labels, ladies apparels, trendy clothes, halter tops, cute dresses, and even junior party dresses and clothing apparel are selling at very economical and affordable price.

 

With the assortment of products and accessories CausewayMall offers, you won’t have to look for another wholesale clothing supplier. All the clothing lines you need can be found at this online sourcing mall. And with the quality and affordability of its clothes and accessories, CausewayMall can be considered a one-stop shop clothing store.

2009 fashion week at different places especially on the fashion capitals was exciting.Though traditional belief says that fashion is youth-obsessed,the fashion weeks this year wronged the age old myth.

Let us take a look at the grand fashion weeks of London,Paris and New York.

London Fashion Week

The fashion elite were left mouth-opened at the London Fashion Week this year.Running from a week this fashion industry event offered a huge scope to the fashion designers and fashion houses to showcase their new collections.The buyers got a good idea about the latest trend in the runaway show.

London Fashion Week indicated what’s “in” and what”s “out” this season.The event once again proved why it has been so popular in London for twenty five years.The event gave a glimpse of the fashion wears the designers are going to produce for the coming months.It also allowed the retailers to take their time to incorporate the design wears into their retail marketing.

Peter Pilotto awed the audience with his fantastic collection. Paul Smith, Aquascutum and Vivienne Westwood add new dimension to the event.Christopher Kane’s Autumn/Winter collection was a must see.Ossie Clark took the crowd to a nostalgic world with the outstanding designer wears.

Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week showcases the silhouette that is going to define the 21st century fashion trends.Paris has always gained the first position whenever a comparison took place among New York,Paris,London and Milan and the style adapted by the French designers perfectly justifies the position of City of Lights.

The designers once again successfully merged pageantry and artistry.In spite of drawing inspiration from every field they remained precise in the move they make.The perfect cut and tailoring of the designer wears were real treat to eyes leaving the audience spell bound.

The feathered visors of Givenchy,the furry motorcycle helmets of Karl Lagerfeld,the wooden birdhouse and golden bananas on the model’s heads designed by Bernhard Wilhelm all contributed to the making of Paris Fashion Week a grand success.Comme des Garcons,Maison Martin Margiela and Gaspard Yurkievich took the event one step ahead.

New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week showcased a set of garments that left the audience spell bound.The use of unusual material made the audience even more curious about the outfits.The designers have given their best to create numerous versatile dresses but the focus was on the80’sstyle.Oversized cocoon is back this season.

Many designers stuck to black and whit.But then others offered visual treat with their hot pink or citron colored fashion wears.The nontraditional trend revealed in the New York Fashion Week is going to be a big hit for the year.To get a glimpse of the new style check out the Narciso Rodriguez,Oscar de la Renta and Michael Kors shows.

The shows of Ralph Lauren,Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs presented a new idea altogether.The contrast between the somber tones with shine and metallic finish make the shows even more exciting.

The fashion weeks of the three fashion capitals of the world set the latest fashion for the coming time.

my own designs sometimes too. I always read fashion magazines like Teen Vogue. I love watching shows about fashion or about runway modeling. In the future I would kill to work in the fashion industry. I absolutely love shopping. I will try to go to fashion school when I grow up. If my parents accept that idea of course.

Andy West asked:


The popularity of television shows like Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model has added even more glamour to the fashion industry, and many people are wondering if a fashion career is right for them.

A fashion career might be a good fit for you if you have the right combination of creativity and business acumen. The fashion industry isn’t based just on making sketches of beautiful clothes, which is why many people are surprised at the hard work that goes into getting a degree in either fashion design or fashion merchandising. The truth is, you can’t just be a designer. You also have to be a great business person, which is why four-year Bachelor’s degrees are becoming increasingly sought after in the fashion industry.

A Bachelor’s degree in either Fashion Design or Fashion Merchandising covers a wide range of skills that can be used in the industry whether you end up designing apparel, organizing fashion shows, coordinating events or managing your own chain of retail stores. The in-depth education you’ll receive will include hands-on courses as well as internships and classroom work taught by industry professionals and professors in disciplines such as accounting and business. As a fashion designer, you can’t succeed today on pure genius. If you can’t address the realities of cost and practicality, someone else will overtake you.

Typical coursework will include a variety of interesting subjects, including the history of fashion and how fashion impacts society. You will gain an understanding of fabrics, textiles and ornamentation, as well as cutting, sewing and pattern making. You will also gain valuable exposure to the growing field of computer assisted design (CAD). Fashion merchandising and sales, accounting, business management, business technology and accounting are also studied. Consumer behavior is focused upon, giving you valuable insight into how to appeal to your potential clients.

There are actually two popular Bachelor’s degrees available for those interested in the fashion industry. If you earn a degree in Fashion Design, you’ll be prepared to work in any design house. You can work your way up from the cutting floor to becoming a design assistant. And eventually, you will be a designer in your own right. You may also coordinate and plan fashion shows or become an events coordinator for fashion houses and department store chains.

With a degree in Fashion Merchandising, your focus will be more on the retail and marketing side of the industry. You can become a buyer for a retail store or private label fashion house, traveling around the world to watch fashion shows and choosing which lines they will carry in the coming year. Other options include becoming the merchandising coordinator in a particular store, designing the display of merchandise to its best advantage. Window dressers are also in demand in large cities, where high-end department stores compete for the title of “best dressed window”.

Either type of fashion degree prepares you for the world of retail management. If your dream is to manage your own fashion store, you can’t go wrong with a degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising. Both degrees give you an excellent overview of the industry and an understanding of everything from which materials work well together to how to handle production and stocking costs. If you think that you have the head for business and the heart for design that it takes for success in the fashion world, getting a Fashion Degree is your best first step.
