Fashion basically means some popular trend or style especially in body, clothing, accessories, footwear, or makeup. Sometimes there are some trends which are used by some of the famous celebrities and become popular and they are then become the fashion of the season. These fashions are then copied or followed by many of the commoners. Fashion can be the way in which a person dresses. Sometimes some clothing styles become quite popular. Sometimes some materials become fashion. Some way of carrying a particular dress material also becomes trend or fashion. Fashion repeats itself. Means suddenly what is in, becomes obsolete after few years, and then come back to fashion again, after some 5-6 or 10 years. Hence there is no such fashion which keeps on going on and on. Fashion and latest trends tend to attract women more than men. There are fashions for men as well, but usually men of any religion, region, age, culture follow or stick to the same fashion every year, while women tend to change their fashion sense every one or two years. Aspects of trends or fashion can be masculine, feminine or sometimes androgynous.

The Backless Evening Gowns and the Ready-to-Wear Fashion of the 1930s:

The 1930s was the peak time for the fashion industry as it impacted the lifestyle of many people. There was a great change during that era. People during that era were bound to make less use of items and produce more in clothing, due to the economic hardship of the Great Depression. This trend, which is still popular today, made the fashion industry more accessible to the general public. These components have led to a more streamlined and cleaner look in fashion. But the popularity of backless evening gowns can be linked to the feeling of being desirable and attractive. The 1930s saw an upsurge in backless evening gowns, which transformed the perception of the ladies and their position in the public and society. The outfits acted as a symbol of luxury and sophistication while also being a way for the women to showcase their feminism and uniqueness.
