Fashion has always been the mirror of history in every aspect – social strata, culture, political and religious identity. Humanity has through the ages expressed intangible ideals and concepts of society through manner of dress. Clothing has become an integral part of how we function as a society. Preservation of its history and the cataloguing of its evolution bring a more vivid dimension to our own history and culture.
