textiles and fashion

Textiles are materials made from fibers, either natural (like cotton or wool) or synthetic (like polyester), that are woven or knitted into fabrics. Fashion refers to the styles and trends in clothing and accessories that reflect cultural, social, and personal expression. Together, textiles and fashion shape the way people dress, combining material choice, design, and craftsmanship to create functional and aesthetic apparel. The industry involves not only designing and producing clothing but also understanding how textiles impact comfort, durability, and sustainability. Ultimately, textiles and fashion influence individual identity and cultural identity through clothing choices.
