Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the history and evolution of fashion and design in different regions and periods.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The evolution of fashion and design in France is a captivating journey through history, marked by distinct periods of innovation and cultural influence. From the opulence of the Baroque and Rococo eras to the revolutionary shifts of the 19th century, French fashion has continually adapted to societal changes while retaining its elegance and sophistication. Paris, with its illustrious couture houses and fashion pioneers like Coco Chanel, has remained at the forefront of the industry, setting trends and shaping the global aesthetic landscape.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusion of innovations theory, cultural appropriation theory & fashion system theory may be used to anchor future studies on the history and evolution of fashion and design in different regions and periods. Insights gleaned from the history and evolution of fashion and design can inform contemporary fashion practices, from design to production and marketing. Policymakers can benefit from historical analyses of fashion and design in shaping regulations and initiatives that promote cultural heritage preservation, ethical production, and inclusive representation within the fashion industry.
