Fashion isn't a mere hobby, interest or art.
It's also an education.
Just like any other field of study, fashion has its own terminology. We're always talking and writing about fashion, it's time we familiarise ourselves with the fashion thesaurus. ;)
We see these fashion trends everywhere. But what are they exactly called?
