Abstract

Textile is referred to any woven fabric or cloth, also to the raw material suitable to be made into cloth (e.g., fiber or yarn), while clothing is defined as an article designed to cover, protect, or adorn the body, while fashion is the area of activity that involves styles of clothing and appearance (Collins Dict. 2016).

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

Mark Twain
