Since it’s the last post for module one, I will be telling you 5 fun facts about fashion design.

1. The first fashion magazine was published in Germany in 1586.

2. Evidence for the first clothes dates somewhere between 100,000 to 500,000 years ago.

3. Men’s shirts button on the right, and women’s on the left.

4. The four major fashion capitals of the world are New York, London, Milan, and Paris.  Each city holds fashion shows twice, in February and September.

5. The five most common clothing materials are linen, cotton, polyester, and rayon. Cotton is the most widely used clothing material, but it only became common in mid 1800 s, when Eli Whitney’s cotton gin made it easy to separate the cotton fibers from the seeds.
