Clothing is used to cover the body and protect itself from the weather.
Clothing is the generic name given to clothing items . These are products made with different types of fabrics to cover the body and keep warm . The broadest meaning of the concept includes clothing: pants , t-shirts , jackets , gloves , hats and footwear , among other items.
It can be said that clothing fulfills two major functions. On the one hand, it allows you to cover those parts of the body that, for cultural reasons, in Western society are kept covered in public (such as the genitals). On the other hand, clothing protects people from weather conditions (sun, rain, low temperatures, etc.).
Beyond these functions, clothing also has symbolic values . Clothing serves to demonstrate status (when someone wears clothing from a certain brand to show their purchasing power), spread a message (such as a sweatshirt or sweatshirt with a legend against animal abuse) or identify themselves (the T-shirt) . of a soccer team).
History of clothing
Historians, based on anthropology and archeology studies, believe that humans began to wear clothing around 50,000 years before Christ . Those primitive garments consisted of leaves, hides or skins attached in a rustic way to the body.
Today, not only is clothing made from a multitude of materials, but there is also the “smart” range, linked to elements of technology to provide additional performance.
It should be noted that, although most clothing is exposed when a person gets dressed, there is underwear (used under shirts, pants and skirts, for example) and linen (the name given to sheets, tablecloths and other products that cover the bed or table).
Louis Vuitton is one of the most exclusive clothing brands.
The most important brands
While some look for the best clothing deals, many people chase internationally renowned brands, which has a negative impact on their pocketbook, although in certain cases it benefits them with quality and workmanship much above average. The prices for “brand name clothing” may be excessive, but this does not stop fashion fans. Below are some of the most important clothing brands in the world:
gucci
It is a company from Italy , dedicated to the manufacture and design of clothing, perfumes and watches, with a large international presence. This brand usually occupies first place on the list of the most expensive in the world . Gucci offers designs for both women and men, among which its handbags, shoes and ties stand out, all endowed with elegance and an unparalleled level of luxury.
Chanel
This French firm also offers a wide variety of luxury products, such as perfumes, cosmetics and clothing. It was created by the legendary designer Coco Chanel in 1910 , and its fame also spreads throughout the world. Since this Parisian brand's items are high-end, its dozens of boutiques - spread internationally - are only found in the most exclusive shopping districts.
Louis Vuitton
As expected, if we talk about clothes, Italy and France will always be in the lead. This company, always present on the list of the most expensive and exclusive on the planet, shares nationality with Chanel . One of its characteristic features, from the point of view of its management at a commercial level, is that it refuses to lower the prices of its products, supported by the fact that their quality justifies the expense.
