Fashion- exemplifies the appearances of clothing, but fashion can also include beautiful accessories.  There are many fabrics that can be put together to make professional styles and display a designer’s individuality, which may catch the eye and delight potential buyers.  Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time.  Some of the high style Couture designs may change quickly or flash-out, and that brings the “fashion” in the street sense (common level), which is the latest version of these styles, change rapidly also.  Instinctive in the capture of people’s minds is the idea, that the course of design and fashion will change quicker and more rapidly, than the culture as a whole.

TECHNICIAN – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A technician is generally someone in a technological field who has a relatively practical understanding of the general theoretical principles of that field, e.g., as compared to an engineer in that field.  They are generally much more versed in technique compared to the average layman, or even the professional in that field.  A mid-level of understanding of theory, and a high-level of technique, is generally mastered by the technician in order to become expert in a specific tool domain.  This may be part of a larger (production) process.
