  • International Jour TRENDS of the LOCAL FASHION
    IJARR, 1(10), 2016; 01-09 International Journal of Advanced Research and Review www.ijarr.in TRENDS OF THE LOCAL FASHIONS IN BANGLADESH A.K.M. Shafiqur Rahman Senior Assistant Professor, BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT), BANGLADESH ABSTRACT There is a close relationship in between clothes and humans since from the ancient age. Actually, clothing reflects the culture and progress of a society and the personality of individuals and that is why we see the diversity in the design of clothing among individuals. As the design of clothes is important to consumers in terms of their taste and cultural orientation, fashion has appeared as the driving force. Trends in fashion reflect the acceptance of new design, usually related to clothing. New designs are rarely new. Most often they are re-introduced of something from past. When a new clothing designer introduces new fashion, it may be accepted or rejected by the buying public. Trend occurs when a new design is accepted and sells in sufficient quantity in some test markets, and then creates a demand from consumers across a broader market. A trend usually refers to a certain style in fashion or entertainment. A trend simply reflects what seems to be going around at any given time. Fashion stated differently by different people in different countries. Fashion is a connecting part of the global communication sector. It carries one country to though ever country has their own style and cultural rhythm, they welcome fashion and culture of the other countries as well. Fashion marketing investigates the relationship between fashion design and marketing including the development, promotion, advertising and retailing aspects of the fashion industries.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which aims to present the contemporary youth culture in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, with an emphasis on the underlying role of cultural globa- lization. To meet the objective of the study, a survey was conducted in 2012 among the students of three leading private universities in Dhaka city. The central theme of the study revolves around the idea that globalization as a process transforms our cultures and affects our lives wherever we live. There has been a heated debate among the researchers on the issue of media effects on the youths. The debate mainly centers around the question: Does what our young generation watch on the global media really influence their behaviors and choices, or the norms and values associated with those behaviors and choices are strictly learned through the guidance of parents, teachers, peers, and the society at large? This study documents that the global media have large-scale im- pact on the audiences who are exposed to them.
