1. Fashion in the USA in the 21st century

2. Introduction
Fashion has always played an important part in our life. We can
hardly imagine modern life without it. On the one hand, it`s a
good opportunity to express yourself and boast new
fashionable clothes. On the other hand, fashion can be
interpreted as a number of styles and trends excepted at the
definite period of time. My work is called “Fashion trends and
styles in the USA in the 21st century. What is American
fashion? Are American designers popular all over the world?
Here are some questions I`ve focused on in the work.

behind their clothes.
