Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser, and Mark Stoneking, anthropologists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that suggests clothing originated around 170,000 years ago. history of fashion is important to know as It makes one understand how one thing at a certain time in a certain place has influenced another thing in a different time and place. It’s only because of this understanding of long-term patterns and repetition in trends, that one is able to do a perfect forecast for the next season.

History has always been the greatest source of infinite ideas that designers take inspiration from. Be it Versace, Jean-Paul Gaultier, or Valentino; all have mixed historical elements with contemporary manners to create timeless collections.

It enhances our observation and thinking skills thereby developing our taste for design. ‘He who understands History knows how to find continuity between that which Was That, Which Is and that which Will Be!’
