The global industry covering the trade and manufacturing chain involved in producing garments and apparel, spanning textile production in cotton, wool and synthetic fibers, embroidery and embellishment, fashion design, retail and the secondhand clothing market, and transformed historically by technologies such as the sewing machine and power loom.
