lust for fashion

I'm soooo in love with the fashion industry that I just cant stop talking about it...so I'm gonna keep talking about it; So whats soo interesting about fashion, well apart from the fact that its all about self expression, really cute clothes, accessories and so many fabulous things, it is also one of the oldest things in the history of man, even from the time of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden; like we were told that they actually made clothes for them selves with leaves, which we actually see on runways today, maybe we should take a look at the history of the fashion world to discover more amazing facts about fashion. So I was asking google some questions about the fashion industry and i came across this article;

                                               HISTORY OF THE FASHION WORLD
fashion and political power have often intertwined in history, and this can be seen in classical history, where the major political powers of the world, such as Alexandra, Athens and Rome were leaders in their respective eras and parts of the world, when it comes to clothing.
    In history, several cities have been fashion capitals. Furthermore, during the Renaissance era, different city-states in what would become modern day Italy were Europe's main trendsetters, due to cultural power that these cities exerted in that period of time; this includes cities such as Florence, Milan, Rome, Naples< Genoa and Venice. However, as one progressed into the last 16th century, with the influence of the Elizabethan era, the English court or more specifically, London, became a major city in European fashion; similarly, due to the power of Spain at that period, the Spanish court influenced fashion, making it a major centre. In the 17th Century, as the Renaissance started to fade away, with the power of the French court, Paris established itself as Europe's main fashion centre.
oops so sorry have to stop here; To be continued.....
