    Fashion

    I. Pre listening
    Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear,
    accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often
    habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses or to prevailing styles in behavior.
    Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers. The more technical term
    costume has become so linked to the term "fashion" that the use of the former has been
    relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" means
    clothing more generally, including the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be
