The following video is a video I have taken from YouTube. It is off the YouTube channel 'FashionTV.' The video is from the London Fashion week Fall/Winter 2013-2014. It shows what is in fashion for this current season. If you go onto Youtube and type in 'Fashion week' plenty more videos will come up which you can watch.

History of Fashion
The term 'history of fashion' generally describes modern clothing since World War II. In ancient Greek and Roman times clothing was based on function. Loose clothing was worn and layered clothing was popular for both men and women. Overtime clothing became more modest with longer sleeves and hemlines.Clothing also became more colourful. During the Renaissance period women started to wear robes and showed more of their hair. Jewellery was also becoming more common. Voluminous skirts and high collars made a statement during this time.
During the Georgian period woman wore a corset known as 'eschelle stomacher.' This would have been decoratred with bows above the waistline and an embroidered petticoat below.
In the Victorian period dresses had several layers with several different colours.
