Back then, for example, features of mobile phones were only call and text. But more ideas have been developed and people have started to think about how to improve some things so that they can attract more consumers. The result is there are now more, in this case, high-tech phones with carious incredible features such as access to social media, hi-quality camera’s ability to upload to and download from the Internet, e-readers, and video calls for quicker and easier communication.
In the world of fashion, there is denim. It is one of the world’s oldest fabrics, and has been modified and remodelled to go with the latest fashion trends. The first ones who wore this fabric are workers in the California Gold Rush era, designed by Jacob Davis because of its sturdy material that withstood the harsh working conditions. Not just them, even sailors from Italy use this material too as their sailing uniform. Then, it started appearing as an actor’s apparel, and that’s when denim started to become one of a fashion item. People started wearing jeans as part of their daily apparel and even adding their own ideas, such as studs and colouring it with different shades of denim. It doesn’t only stop around that era, but today, they are seen everywhere and has become a major clothing piece for almost all of the age groups. As a reference, we can see young children already wears jeans as part of their clothing, the teenagers added jeans to their wardrobe, and even for the seniors, they consider jeans as a simple and comfortable clothing pieces.

Even though there are other eye-catching apparel, somehow people tend to choose denim because of its uniqueness and chameleon-like quality to blend in in any occasion, such as a casual meet-up with friends, or even to semi formal occasion such as a birthday party, you can just put on a nice top with some accessories to make it more blinglicious.
Jeans is not just apparel, but has become a must-have item. Today, a lot of denim-based products are not just apparel, but also other things such as handbags, carpet, and even a sofa. (elaborate more).
In conclusion, denim does have a very big impact on the world, especially in the fashion industry. Almost the entire garment store has a denim product on sale, and it keeps on varying. People keep on inventing new ideas to bring out fresh denim products so that the fabric is up to date.
Life has changed tremendously in the past till date. Many changes have occurred both in the social, economic, and political facets of life. There are many changes still occurring with the evidence of shifting from old ways to new lifestyles in evident across the board. Lifestyles have also taken a different turn in the event that most people do not live in the old patterns and beliefs of life. Many people have thus not only forsaken the old ways and lifestyles but it is also important to embrace the idea and truth that the world has taken a different angle in every aspect.

It shows that nice clothes can boost your confidence and self esteem. Everyone deserves to look and feel acceptable about themselves. Clothing is a big part of your appearance to exceed your expectation of looking and feeling confident. Old Navy has pleasant and comfortable clothes that are long lasting and can be passed down to others. Your appearance can make you feel powerful, help you think better, or smarter. For example, you would think that you look unattractive wearing sweats and a plain T-shirt rather than a fancy dress or a suit and tie that make you look important. Your choice of fashion and clothes can describe your mood. Something flattering and vibrant can be portrayed as being happy and having a positive attitude. Something dark or plain can be portrayed as having a poor day or being unhappy. Clothes can show who you really are and how you feel every single day.
You know what I just don’t get is how people are getting back into denim. I don’t see it much in school but out of school it is dennom everything. You see denim something everywhere, denim dresses to socks. I am totally not against denim, I mean i do wear jeans but I would not wear a denim dress or shirt. I just think it is so weird people used to hate wearing denim on denim. People would look at you weird if you have a denim jacket on with jeans, and now you are cool if you are dressed in denim from head to toe. I just don’t understand it! Why I think being dressed in denim from head to toe is definitely not flattering. I think if you decide to wear denim you should pair it with something that is not denim!
To conclude, the capability to create customized clothing is becoming undemanding as technology evolves. Ready made apparel was only available in predetermined sizes before the American Civil War, this exemplifies how the sizes were arbitrary and were not the same on a broad scale. The statement “The wealthy’s clothes were made by tailors” is a prime example of how tailored outfits are costly. Today, designers have computer-aided design to their disposal; this improved the creation of clothing in many ways, making it effortless to design the clothing and to also produce them. With the creation of new technology making clothes, fabrics will become easier.
Working thesis: The advancements in technology have caused the social norms of society to adapt to its rapid change, by becoming captivated to its simple access; which is effecting the way we communicate and act.
First connotations were simple: "jeans are tough and rugged as men who wear them". This image of a 100% man was even strengthened after western movies appeared. Soon jeans, and so Levi’s brand which in people’s mind turned to be their synonymous, became a symbol of freedom, adventure and independence. In this moment, managers of LS&Co decided to expand the brand. Even though there where various new cloths introduced to the market ; 501 jeans remained their top-selling product. It was their new brand strategy to "offer products for every life style", which turned to be a fiasco. Not only it didn’t bring expected results, what is more, this to big diversification caused drops in sales. It was so decided to come back to the core product and it’s image. To strengthen the Levi’s position on a market, their launched a new campaign which emphasizes emotional connection between jeans and theirs owner. To wear 501 it is to be yourself – they said.

Moreover, many products were luxurious in the 80s because the economy recovered during that period. Modern fashion is meaningful; it brings many changes and has a huge influence on general life.

INTRODUCTION: As a retail major at Florida State, I have been able to learn a lot about my love for fashion. One thing that is true about me is that I love to understand the origins behind different subjects, whether that is my family or, in this case, piece of clothing. Perfectly tying those two worlds together, I am going to be talking about the origins of denim jeans. First I will go over the history, then I will go over how jeans became popular, and lastly I will talk
The new pants took on a new name, denim blue jeans. They were tough, reasonably priced, and lasted longer than any pant before.

For hundreds of years, clothing has always been a way for people to express themselves and as the fashion trends continue to change it allows younger minds to open up and have fun creatively to express their personality’s through clothing. Clothing has a lot to say about who you are as an individual. It often depicts nonverbal communication in how it seems to speak without you having to.
To begin with, I shall look at what fashion is; it is a currently popular style or practice involving clothing, footwear or accessories. It mostly refers to the current trends in looks and dressing style of a person (Cumming 234). In most cases, fashion is confusedly related to costumes; when a person talks of fashion they are seen to mean fashion in terms of textile. Fashion is seen to originate from the Western world and it is copied by other places. In this paper, we shall look at how fashion affects lifestyles and the group of people who are affected most. The paper further investigates how media is used to transmit fashion from one region to the other. Although it has been seen to affect people’s lives many people have different perspectives on fashion and dressing.
That can lead to the water stress and pollution. Cotton is one of the common natural fibers and it is also a thirsty crop, to produce one cotton shirt it takes 2,700 liters of water which is enough amount of water for one person to drink 2 ½ years (3p Contributor., 2015). The chemical wastages from chemical dye and bleaches that produce from the factory, and carbon footprint such as polyester production which can lead to climate change. Given that amount of water wastage, I feel that people should opt for sustainable fashion clothes. Most people may be hesitant to try something so novel, so green. Therefore, I feel the fashion house should educate the public about the many benefits of sustainable fashion
Clothing is something that defines a person, and allows society to have an outlook on an individual’s lifestyle and beliefs. Unlike criticizing other material things like a car, a home or even something as simple as a television set, criticism of clothing is very personal. This suggests that there is a high correlation between clothing and personal identity and values. (Breward, pg.1) Clothing in a sense has the ability to communicate thought. However, similarly to art interpretations, this does not mean that any two people will perceive these visual aesthetics similarly.
One of the characteristics that is lost fist through the process of westernization of a culture is traditional clothing. Clothing in India, with the exception of traditional vestments such as the Dhoti, Kurta, and Indian Sari, has never been about the aesthetically pleasing look of clothes. Up until the modern era Indians have had clothes recycled from older more worn clothes. This clothe recycling process is known as the “Indian shoddy industry (where clothing is completely destroyed in order to permit the reclamation of its constituent fibres)”(Norris). A now more modernized and westernized India has seen a growth in western name brand clothing such as Levi’s Strauss & Co. Jeans, and other brand name clothing that are favored by adolescents of western society, and have gained increasing popularity amongst Indian adolescents as well. Western clothing has become so popular in India that its own government now considers it a part of traditional Indian clothing. This is a clear example of India 's loss of culture as foreign brands are becoming more prevalent within the Indian mainstream. Not only has western clothing such as jeans and t-shirts been accepted into the Indian mainstream, but
