Fashion designers use their creativity to choose fabric, color, and types of clothing to make the clothes they sell in stores. Each year, fashion designers all over the world host fashion shows where models walk down a platform known as a runway to showcase the newest styles and trends in clothing.

Fashion trends are often established by particular designers or by famous people who endorse a particular style or product. Popular items can spread throughout a country in as little as a month if people can get them. Magazines promote fashion ideas to readers.
