Clothing style is dictated by three particular interests. First is popular fashion, which was most influenced by either the church or the rulers, as styles were copied from the ruling class, and, as they grew more and more extreme, criticized by the ecclesiastical element. Second is commercial interests. The strong merchant class will always know how to push the richest and most expensive materials into the mode. And thirdly is personal artistic expression. Fashion is dictated by many factors such as geography, time, and social and ethical standards. But superseding these is the influence of strong personalities, the brave people who will don the unthinkable, and in doing so, create the latest trend. Personal expression and creativity will only be found in the bravest, and usuall...

L’Oreal is the largest beauty company in the world and in the past 100 years that it has expanded, it has supplied to 130 countries with offices in 58 different countries. This global company is the number one premium cosmetic product in the world today and has taken the core and beauty of people’s everyday lives since 1907, the beginning of L’Oreal. The superior leadership of a guy named Eugene Schueller started this strategic company with basic products such as hair care and also the first man-made hair color product. Five years later you could find these products in Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands. In 1934 Eugene invented the first mass market of soap less shampoo and this led the success of L’Oreal in the country of Europe which soon recognized them as the leader in body care and hair coloring products. Finally soon after World War II L’Oreal moved into the United States and the company seemed to change. When L’Oreal expanded the competition was more involved and more growth was needed in order for the company to be more successful. With problems like this, the strategy and planning that has been applied in L’Oreal has been huge for the success of the company. L’Oreal realized they needed to expand in other fields of the beauty market and target markets in order to stay alive and successful. This would mean that L’Oreal would need to acquire other companies as part of their expansion and through this they have kept the constancy of the leading company with acquisitions of many small companies. Finally in the 1980s they started their globalization into new markets all around the globe by acquiring new companies that would form the cosmetics that we know today. Although the role of acquisitions has never been the main focus of the company, internal growth and strategy was the number one reason for L’Oreal becoming such a big name. The main strategy was to adopt new companies and expand it from within believing that the brand could be taken globally and benefit their overall brand portfolio. The main role of acquisitions was to increase and lengthen the internal growth rate. L’Oreal started acquiring companies from the beginning of their name. They started with the basics of their own brands such as L’Oreal Professional, L’Oreal Paris, Kerastase, and Club des Createurs de Beaute.

It is very well said that fashion comes from within ourselves and not what we see and copy. It is reflected in our attitude, the way we walk, talk or even eat. There are no boundaries set as to what is fashionable and what is not. Whatever makes us happy, comfortable and confident is fashion and that is something that we should keep in mind. Fashion has become an integral part of any contemporary society. It is an omnipresent aspect of our lives and is one of the focal topics of the print and electronic media, television and internet, advertisements and window displays in shops and malls, movies, music, modes of entertainment etc. Though the term ‘fashion’ is often used synonymously with garment, it actually has a wider connotation.

Modern designers are trying to balance their ethical values with profits in order to capture customers, goodwill in society, knowing for its environment-friendly production, designing, manufacturing, purchasing and facilitating them in their endeavors.

As body exposure becomes increasingly socially acceptable; does the bikini as a garment empower women? Or does it construct a negative identity of the wearer, and objectifying us in such a way that evokes negative attention, such as ‘the male gaze’? In the 1800’s women were required to wear bathing suits that had weights sewn in the hem, to prevent it from rising in the water, and to preserve the modesty of the wearer. These bathing suits were essentially a long dress made of flannel, as discretion was an important social factor at the time. Throughout history swimwear has developed to become more revealing, particularly with the daring invention of the bikini, from French designer Louis Reard in 1946. During this period of time the bikini was perceived too risqué for post-war citizens; Reard declared that a two-piece suit was not a genuine bikini "unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring.” Clearly illustrating how skimpy the design had become over such a short period of time. This subsequently became popular with the younger and audacious generation in the late 1950’s, especially when commercialised by celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot and Ursula Andress.
