Features: During the selection process, the author consulted relevant reference books and professional literature both domestically and internationally, particularly original foreign professional books. Comprehensiveness, novelty, rigor, accuracy, appropriateness, and standardization were the author's guiding principles in word selection. At the same time, attention was paid to the hierarchical, typical, advanced, scientific, and practical aspects of the vocabulary, ensuring ease of use and strong operability for readers. After multiple rounds of screening, supplementation, and proofreading, the book includes over 50,000 entries. Since China's reform and opening-up, the development of the fashion industry has achieved unprecedented success, whether in fashion education and discipline construction, fashion production industry, or fashion commerce. Today, the field of fashion studies has expanded to encompass engineering, arts, liberal arts, and business, and this vocabulary covers the history and theory, design, aesthetics, materials, varieties, measurement, structure, production techniques, equipment and tools, testing, management, commerce, and accessories of fashion, as well as beauty and hairdressing. Among these, fashion is the primary focus, with accessories being secondary. Terms related to adjacent disciplines are included only if they are frequently used by scholars and professionals in the field, without unnecessary elaboration, to enhance the professionalism of the vocabulary and facilitate the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents and the integration of various disciplines.
