Fashion is what is accepted and adopted by the society at any given point of time. In other words it is a lifestyle statement of an individual or a group of people. In this sense it covers a wide range of human activities.

Meaning of design
The word ‘Design’ is used both as a noun and a verb. As a verb, ‘to design’ refers to the process of originating and developing plan for a product, structure, system, or component within intention. As a noun, ‘a design’ is used for either the final plan (e.g. proposal, drawing, model, description) or the result of implementing that plan in the form of the final product of a design process.
Fashion design
Fashion design is the art of application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear are called ready to wear.
Fashion life cycle
Fashion is an ongoing cycle in which new trends take place, are accepted and get finally outdated and rejected. This brings about a change and gives way to newer trends. This process of acceptance to rejection forms a curve. However, the life of all trends is not the same. For some trends the cycle may be completed in 6 months whereas for others it may even be a few years. This curve represents the pattern of life of a trend that takes place in five phases
Phase 1: Introduction
Phase 2: Rise
Phase 3: Popularity Peak
Phase 4: Decline
Phase 5: Obsolescence
Like most art forms, fashion is an international language. Apparel and accessory shopping is a cultural, social, and financial fact — a phenomena as fascinating as any of the fine arts.
