Answer 1

1. 
   
   1. Introduction of a Style: Designers interpret their research and creative ideas into apparel and then offer the new styles to the public. Designs are created by changing elements such as line, color, shape, fabric, and details and their relationship to one another.
   2. Increase in Popularity: As the new fashion is purchased, worn, and seen by many people, it may begin to rise in popularity.
   3. Peak of Popularity: When a fashion is at the height of its popularity, it may be in such demand that many manufacturers copy it or produce adaptations of it at different price levels.
   4. Decline in Popularity: Eventually so many copies are mass produced that fashion-conscious people tire of the style and begin to look for something new. These declining styles are put on sale racks in the retail stores.
   5. Rejection of a Style or Obsolescence: In the last phase of the fashion cycle, some consumers have already turned to new looks, thus beginning a new cycle.
