We all love fashion and want to look good and with social media, the world has seen more fashionistas than ever in the history of humanity.There are so many fashion terminologies and I am sure we have all heard of one term or the other but want to know more. Join me today as I explore popular fashion terms which I believe all fashion conscious folks would love to know of.

2. Style: Is the distinctive manner or method of presenting or expressing a type of fashion.
3. Avant Garde : Refers to new, advanced, extreme or unusual fashion
