subject: Fashion Business Trends [print this page] When the first human being, in Eden or on earth, covered his body with leaves, or later with an animal skin, the fashion industry was founded in those days. Though we aren't familiar with the style and attire of that time until the ancient civilizations preserved few images in the solidity of rocks, through cave paintings and through rock-cut sculptures.
Terra Cotta figurines of the oldest Harappan Age show interesting headdresses that can be in contrast to any modern hairstyle with a heavy look. The Dancing Girl of Mohenjo Daro with bangles in her arms is not behind any fashion sculpt of any age. While no one can deny the allure and glamour of Cleopatra; a woman with great political skills and a long nose, who crafted many fashion styles from jewelry to outfits of the great Egyptian Empire of Scissors.
But fashion is not only associated to women always! In olden days of Cleopatra, Scissors always wore clothes that were royal, expensive, stylistic, attractive and special. At the same Egyptian soil, the Pharaohs were never behind. The great Biblical Character of Moses, if taken as an Egyptian Prince, was always a portrayed, in tales and later in movies, in a charismatic outfit.
While in the Western part of the globe, the Greeks and Romans not just marked high standards in Art, Architecture, and Warfare, however their unique and intricate concepts of a perfect and godlike human body, especially of males, supported the appealing army uniforms and court-wears.
The supernatural characters of illustrious Greek, Egyptian and Indian Mythologies did provide extraordinary range of apparel; well preserved in the form of painting and sculpture.
These ancient models are the greatest sources of inspiration for modern day fashion designers and the origins of the evolved type of cultural trends prevailed through continents from Australia to America and from Asia to Africa.
