The history of fashion is a history of people. During this past century, it was the couturiers and designers who laid the foundations of the modern fashion industry we know today, liberating women from corseted confinement, creating ready-to-wear clothing, logos, licensing, window displays, lifestyle brands, fashion shows and marketing. Follow fashion trends over the centuries to make a fascinating presentation on the topic.

Possible Topics: How fashion reflects the change of societal norms; style icons and designers such as Chanel, Dior, Yves St-Laurent, Alexander McQueen; ethical
and environmental challenges facing the industry; democratization of fashion through mass production.
