FASHION
The world of fashion can be considered a reflection of the
rapid and continuous evolution of contemporary reality, of
its economic, cultural and social changes.
In architectural terms- a spatial modulation of continuous
movement in time and space.
With respect to innovations and inventions using flexible
and economic means. It demands creativity and flair of art
together with the technical knowledge base.

The fashion industry consists of four levels:

The production of raw materials, principally fibres
and textiles but also leather and fur
The production of fashion goods by designers,
manufacturers, contractors, and others
Retail sales
And various forms of advertising and promotion.

state and also helpful in the furtur development of the city
with respect to its tradition, culture etc..
It would be helpful in providing fashion education which is
the most demanding factor of present day at national and
inter-national level.
