Over the years I have had a perception that Fashion is being limited. I also have a perception that majority of the Designers tends to set restrictions in the way fashion is being expressed and conveyed to the audiences.The question is should there be limits to Fashion and Textiles ?
Fashion started when humans began to wear clothes. These clothes were typically made from plants, animal skins and bone.Most often, clothing was patterned, sewn and tailored in the household. When storefronts appeared selling ready-to-wear clothing, this need was removed from the domestic workload.
In the creation of any era of fashion, it is important to understand that the role of a Fashion designer is not limited .Throughout history, many believe designers do one simple job which is just to Design . However, designers must take into account the beliefs that Fashion is communicable and is not bounded by any means.
