Abstract
Fashion is a dynamic and ever-evolving form of expression that is deeply intertwined with culture. This paper explores the intricate relationship between culture and fashion trends from a global perspective, highlighting how cultural factors shape and influence the fashion industry. Different regions around the world contribute uniquely to the global fashion landscape, driven by their distinct histories, traditions, social norms, and values. cultural heritage and traditional attire continue to inspire contemporary fashion designers, leading to the fusion of modern and traditional elements in fashion. It also discusses the impact of globalization, which has facilitated the cross-cultural exchange of fashion ideas, leading to the emergence of hybrid styles that blend elements from various cultures. Additionally, the paper addresses the role of media and technology in disseminating cultural fashion trends globally, making once-local styles accessible to international audiences. Social media platforms, in particular, have become powerful tools for showcasing cultural fashion and influencing global trends.
