Everyday we are surrounded by international fashion, but what is international fashion? International fashion is an on-going popularity contest. Fashion is the way you dress with the style of your choice. Fashion is an enormous business, which includes more people than any other business in the world; from consumers to the manufacturers.
International fashion is basically “high class” fashion. It consists of clothes, shoes, and accessories made by world famous designers. Sometimes you may see a model modeling a $50,000 outfit that may look weird to you, but it takes a big spender with style to buy it.
When it comes to fashion there is always competition. In the international world of fashion models compete with other fashion models, designers compete with designers, and photographers compete with other photographers. High Class fashion is fashion determined by a small group of men and women with a specific taste and authority in the fashion business. These people are normally the rich folks who are buyers for major department stores, editors and writers for fashion magazines. Some of the expensive, artistic fashions may become world wide, but most stay on the runway.
In the field of fashion you will always deal with change. New trends come and go with each season. New ideas are always hitting the market. The new ideas either flop or blow up, worldwide. For example, in the 1700’s women and dressmakers outside the French court depended on sketches to see what was going on in the fashion industry. The famous king of France, Louis XIV said that “fashion is like a mirror” and he was renowned for his style, which included extravagant laces and velvets.
Music, movies, videos, books, culture, musical icons, political figures, and royalty often influence fashion. Movies are a big influence and it was said that Ray–Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men In Black than the history of the company. Also, in the 1950’s teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley.
This season we are seeing old houses of Laurent, Oscar del La renta, and Channel stay to their true ways inspiring us with their techniques while some what newcomers like Sassy Bella make their mark in the rough and rowdy fashion world.

Vogue, one of the leading fashion magazines and the fashionesstas bible, declares that for the fall we will see the return of the bubble, a technique that flairs the skirt out just below the waist, our friend fur is still fabulous, as well as a lot of use of metallics and layering. We really may see a use of the Napoleonic style of dress. No matter what comes our fashion way it is ultimately up to you to have high class or no class!
