Introduction
Fashion field is growing constantly in current period of time. In fashion industry, trends
are likely to get change within short period of time. The respective industry is highly affected by
attitude, behavior of customers (Brooks, 2019). I am fascinated by the fast-fashion industry, its
ever-changing trends and more. Hence, I decided to opt the respective theme so that I will get the
opportunity to learn more about fashion. In the given situation, I have been chosen globalization
theory as it is an emerging concept in current time. Nowadays, it is common to exchange goods,
services from one country to another. This is possible due to globalization. In addition to this, the
globalization has been improved relations of different countries that will prove helpful in future
growth. In the present essay, five pictures related to fast fashion has been covered. These pictures
are about Valentino, Versace, DIOR and more. These all pictures have similarity in terms of
including the elements of fast fashion. Further, these pictures also cover the creativity in order to
put a better impression on the buyers.
Introduced selected theories
In the given scenario, selected theory is globalization. Here, globalization refers to the
flow of goods, products, technology and jobs across the national borders. In other words, it
shows the independence of nations across the globe to trade freely (Heuer and Becker-Leifhold,
2018). The theory of globalization has been facilitated several changes in business. Nowadays,
business organization can freely trade with each-other. They can exchange products, goods,
services with each-other in order to ensure future growth. Through globalization, the business
entities can get competitive advantage in terms of minimizing the overall cost of production, cost
of raw material and more. In other words, globalization refers to a trend towards the single world
culture. Furthermore, globalization plays a crucial role in creation of new job opportunities,
economic-growth and more. Here, globalization refers to speed up of movements and exchange
of goods, services, capital from one nation to other. Additionally, this helps in promoting the
interaction between different culture, regions and more (Robinson, 2018). In context of fast
fashion industry, globalization plays an important role by facilitating the exchange of products
between different countries. Now, the entities are able to exchange raw material, finish goods
with each-other in order to get better outcomes in the future period of time. Here, the cross-

border transactions are helpful in creating positive bond among the countries for future
betterment.

major customers of Valentino belong from the age group between 25 to 40. They are likely to
attract the customers by offering haute culture and ready to wear collection. In addition, they also
offer range of accessories including handbags, goods, shoes and more. When thinking about
