Origin, historical development and transformation of costume
It used to be said that French Viscount Philippe went to Kinazel on vacation and fished on a boat, but because he was dressed in aristocratic clothes and had many buttons around his neck, fishing was very inconvenient. But he saw that nearby fishermen moved freely, their clothes were characterized by loose collars and fewer buttons, which made them very relaxed during fishing operations. Philip liked to have fun, but he also had a talent for dressing up. He drew inspiration from clothes of a fisherman. Upon his return to Paris, he immediately found a tailor to study together, so a new type of clothing was born.

The development of costumes has about three hundred years, divided into four stages:
