Features: This is a bouquet-style series of books. Flowers bloom in spring. The youth of life is just like spring—bright, radiant, and full of vitality. Flowers in spring need to absorb rain, sunlight, and the fragrance of earth to reveal their graceful and colorful beauty. And the youth, like those bathed in spring breeze, are also in the prime time of life when they need to supplement knowledge, broaden their horizons, understand history, and absorb the excellent cultural heritage of humanity. After we have already been overwhelmed by the dazzling and restless lights, there will be a moment of tranquility. This is a real moment when we can hear our own heartbeat. Let the heartbeat of youth guide our gaze back, looking from the ground beneath our feet to our past; a string of historical pearls connects our bloodline, getting closer from afar. These are pearls that are both incredibly heavy and brilliantly shining; they are pearls that have been scarred by countless trials of blood and fire; they are pearls that radiate the halo of human wisdom. Each of us is a link in this pearl necklace. One day, when we are no longer young (and that day will come soon), we will realize the role we played in the evolution of historical and cultural progress. This is truly a tempting question! Perhaps this series of simple books will help young friends play their roles well in the future. Most of the authors of this series are experts and professors in their respective fields. They had many more important issues to research, but to help young friends obtain knowledge in a relatively simple way in their spare time, they took the time to carefully pluck a bouquet of flowers from the gardens of knowledge in their fields and place them beside the desks of young students. Everyone will surely feel the fragrance it emits. This book is one of the series "Written on the Margins of the Classroom," a bouquet-style series. It mainly tells the origin and development of clothing, explaining the general history of world fashion, fashion aesthetics and dressing art, the function of clothing, clothing and color, and dressing art. It also predicts the fashion colors three years in the future. The book introduces world-renowned fashion designers from places such as Paris, France; Milan, Italy; London, England; New York, USA; and Tokyo, Japan.
