I think that is like a trick question because really, WHAT IS fashion?  If you consider fashion when people really started wearing clothing then it would be since Adam and Eve wore fig leaves.  But if you mean a particular type of fashion then what fashion are you talking about?

Yahoo! began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things. The two founders of Yahoo!, David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, started their guide in a campus trailer in February 1994 as a way to keep track of their personal interests on the Internet. Before long they were spending more time on their home-brewed lists of favorite links than on their doctoral dissertations. Eventually, Jerry and David's lists became too long and unwieldy, and they broke them out into categories. When the categories became too full, they developed subcategories ... and the core concept behind Yahoo! was born. \n\nThe Web site started out as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki" - both named after legendary sumo wrestlers. \n\nJerry and David soon found they were not alone in wanting a single place to find useful Web sites. Before long, hundreds of people were accessing their guide from well beyond the Stanford trailer. Word spread from friends to what quickly became a significant, loyal audience throughout the closely-knit Internet community. Yahoo! celebrated its first million-hit day in the fall of 1994, translating to almost 100 thousand unique visitors. \n\nDue to the torrent of traffic and enthusiastic reception Yahoo! was receiving, the founders knew they had a potential business on their hands. In March 1995, the pair incorporated the business and met with dozens of Silicon Valley venture capitalists. They eventually came across Sequoia Capital, the well-regarded firm whose most successful investments included Apple Computer, Atari, Oracle and Cisco Systems. They agreed to fund Yahoo! in April 1995 with an initial investment of nearly $2 million. \n\nRealizing their new company had the potential to grow quickly, Jerry and David began to shop for a management team. They hired Tim Koogle, a veteran of Motorola and an alumnus of the Stanford engineering department, as chief executive officer and Jeffrey Mallett, founder of Novell's WordPerfect consumer division, as chief operating officer. They secured a second round of funding in Fall 1995 from investors Reuters Ltd. and Softbank. Yahoo! launched a highly-successful IPO in April 1996 with a total of 49 employees. \n\nToday, Yahoo! Inc. is a leading global Internet communications, commerce and media company that offers a comprehensive branded network of services to more than 345 million individuals each month worldwide. As the first online navigational guide to the Web, www.yahoo.com is the leading guide in terms of traffic, advertising, household and business user reach. Yahoo! is the No. 1 Internet brand globally and reaches the largest audience worldwide. The company also provides online business and enterprise services designed to enhance the productivity and Web presence of Yahoo!'s clients. These services include Corporate Yahoo!, a popular customized enterprise portal solution; audio and video streaming; store hosting and management; and Web site tools and services. The company's global Web network includes 25 World properties. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., Yahoo! has offices in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia, Canada and the United States.

I first was lured to Georgia with a job. It seemed a perfect match for my job skillz. Then they started talking about a dress code. Dress code?? I didn't work with the public, no one was going to see me where I worked, and what I was doing had NO BEARING on how I was dressed. I mean, it's not like I dress slutty, I just dress casual. I quit, because this isn't high school and they aren't my parents, and how I dressed was none of their business.

It started in 1979. It started out as house music for dance clubs. Disco was on the way out and computers were on the way in. Techno evolved over the past 27 odd years. Techno is mostly computerized music that can be done with a synthesizer and voice box. Highly popular with my GLBT community!

I can't remember where I saw this, but on some TV show or movie preview or something, a woman told another girl to dress for the job she WANTS to have (and then a joke was cracked).  I like that idea though.  Dressing up shows that you take your work seriously.  I start off the week with good intentions- heels and skirts and whatnot.  By Friday I'm in jeans and sneakers.  :P

Socks - -  History\n\n        The word "sock" is derived from the Latin soccus, the Old English socc and the Middle English word socke. The "soccus" was a shoe worn by Roman comic actors. It was a "calceoli" or sock-like and fitted loosely so they could be taken off quickly. Roman’s sometimes wore soccus with sandals and then removed their sandals indoors; the soccus remained on their feet.\n\n        8th Century Barbarians wore brightly colored socks.\n\n        During the Crusades and Gothic periods (1000-1300) linen hose made from two-leg profile pieces replaced tube hose sewn together. Tapes tied to the waistband held these up. Under the hose was worn a shapeless pair of linen legs which were stitched through the crotch, hemmed at the top and gathered by a drawstring around the waist.\n\n        Over time, the outer hose were joined and called closed hose or a pair of legs.\n\n        From about 1340 onwards men started to wear shorter garments called gippons or pourpoints. Long garments survived at court and ecclesiastical and academic circles. Short garments exposed the leg and required hose that was better supported and tighter.\n\n        By the 12th century the word meant a low shoe or slipper and later a knitted foot covering sometimes extending to the knee. By 1583 the word "stocking" was used to describe a covering for the feet and legs. "Hose" came from the Old English and Old High German word hosa, meaning leg covering.\n\n        Reverend William Lee of Nottinghamshire, England invented a sock-knitting machine in l589, and started to make hosiery out of cotton, wool and silk. The machine made bright colored socks easier to produce, cheaper, and encouraged their popularity.\n\n            The developments of better knitting techniques were enveloped as well as the introduction of the full bottom hose and codpiece. The leg sections of these limb coverings were made to fit more smoothly by means of a series of small darts, hidden by embroidery, around the ankles of the hose. As doublets and suercotehardies came into general use the hose or chausses were first worn over the breeches but eventually these became only brief trunks and were then discarded in favor of the full bottom hose. Either these styles of leg coverings were attached to the doublets or jupes by cord laces with metal tap tips.\n\n        The embroidered ankle decoration known as "Clocks" were hot fashion stuff on thigh or knee high hose in the 17th Century!\n\n        In the eighteenth century both men and women wore stockings usually white made of silk or wool.\n\n        It was the Victorians in the late 19th century who insisted than men should wear dark socks especially after the death of Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband in 1861. A long period of mourning followed which, in addition to the industrial revolution, made black the most prominent color in men’s wardrobes.\n\n        In the 1930s a new circular knitting machine meant garments could be made in one piece, and no longer needed to be sewn together.\n\n        Julian Hill was one of the scientists at the Du Pont Company in Delaware, in a group led by Wallace Carothers. Hill was looking for a silk substitute, and one day he discovered that by pulling a heated rod from a mixture of coal tar, water and alcohol he could create a filament that was strong, sheer, and silk-like in appearance. Further research led to the first synthetic fiber, which soon came to be known as Polymer 6.6. Two years later, in 1937, Du Pont patented the discovery, the same year Wallace Carothers, fatally depressed, committed suicide. As a tribute to his work, Du Pont decided that he - rather than Hill should be hailed as the inventor of Polymer 6.6.\n\n        Synthetic fibers were presented to the public at the World's Fair in New York in 1939. Taking the NY from the city's initials, the fiber became known as "nylon".\n\n        Nylon

Depends. In my school, the tights and skirt from the 80s seems popular with a few girls. We also have Converses, the skater look, and hoddies seems to be cool fashion in our grade.

Laundry baskets started in the ancient aztec civilization of ptelolzitilua. The emperor had a lot of clothes and when his servents kept droping the clothes in the mud after being washed he asked them to use baskets to carry the clothes. from there on the basket has evolved to what we now know as the modern laundry basket.

I believe that it came from the magazine Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ), which was one of the first magazines for men's fashions.  It then became the "measuring stick" for men's fashion.
