Geography

As I read about different cultures and societies, I found that geography was a common factor in determining the level of creativity of said society. A part of a societies creativity is fashion. The people have to adapt to certain climates and living conditions and fashion is a big part of that adaptation. For example, people who live in Russia have to live through brutally cold winters and resort to dressing in furs and heavy down coats. Where people who live in a more humid tropical climate go to great lengths in staying cool by wearing linen and cotton, which are very light and breathable fabrics. Each society has to use their creative juices not only politically and socially but also when thinking on how they dress each day based on where they live.

Even though their climate is so harsh, which makes it difficult for them to wear fashionable things, through the creativity of designers they turn their weaknesses into strengths. They use their creativity to solve problems and combine ideas together to get what they want. Fashion and Warmth.
