The idea of western fashion verse non western fashion was brought to my attention recently in a women’s studies course. We discussed the historical records of only western dress and it made me wonder is non-European clothing considered fashion? It made me aware that fashion is mainly recorded and measured in western cultures and many major powerful designers are trained and located in western countries. In my opinion, fashion can be defined, as an individual’s personal styling of clothing, accessories, and beauty products. So that then means that fashion is visible anywhere people are wearing clothes. I then think it is important to recognize that there are other fashion movements around the world. The lack of Asian, African, and South American clothing in mainstream fashion, may be because we live in a western culture, but I believe their styles can be just as influential and chic as western styles. In the below pictures I hope to show that fashion is and was present in other cultures.
