The fashion industry is a product of the modern age. [18] Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom-made. It was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. By the beginning of the 20th century—with the rise of new technologies such as the sewing machine, the rise of global capitalism and the development of the factory system of production, and the proliferation of retail outlets such as department stores—clothing had increasingly come to be mass-produced in standard sizes and sold at fixed prices.

Although the fashion industry developed first in Europe and America, as of 2014 it is an international and highly globalized industry, with clothing often designed in one country, manufactured in another, and sold world-wide. For example, an American fashion company might source fabric in China and have the clothes manufactured in Vietnam, finished in Italy, and shipped to a warehouse in the United States for distribution to retail outlets internationally. The fashion industry has long been one of the largest employers in the United States,[citation needed] and it remains so in the 21st century. However, U.S. employment declined considerably as production increasingly moved overseas, especially to China. Because data on the fashion industry typically are reported for national economies and expressed in terms of the industry's many separate sectors, aggregate figures for world production of textiles and clothing are difficult to obtain. However, by any measure, the clothing industry accounts for a significant share of world economic output.

The fashion industry consists of four levels:

the production of raw materials, principally fibers and textiles but also leather and fur the production of fashion goods by designers, manufacturers, contractors, and others retail sales various forms of advertising and promotion
These levels consist of many separate but interdependent sectors,[which?] each

    The generation gap is a natural consequence of life. It is probably the reason why you are often fighting with your parents. They aren’t letting you go out on a weekday or aren’t buying you the latest iPhone and you find yourself constantly using the excuse, “But everyone’s doing it.” Every 30 years or so, rolls around a new generation, the trends, values, beliefs, work ethics all change and we’re left with a bunch of people who don’t understand what the fuck is going on. People need to understand that generation gaps exist and the generation you’re born in has a big impact on your lifestyle. Generations need to understand the gap and their differences and accept the fact that they might not get each other and what that other generation is doing isn’t wrong in any way, it’s just foreign to you.…
