Fashion    is    often    seen    as    a    modern    phenomenon,    entirely    upon    nineteenth-    and    twentieth-    century    capitalism    for    its    development.    Most    historians    of    fashion    are    at    to    point    out,    though,    that    fashion,    at    least    in    the    of    style    and    design,    has    a    very    long    history.    They    often    the    rise    of    the    market    and    mercantile    trade    in    the    sixteenth    and    seventeenth    centuries    as    their    starting    point.    As    societies    have    developed    in    complexity,    populations    have    expanded,    and    multiple    technologies    for    producing    an    increasing    variety    of    clothing    and    physical    adornment    have    been    discovered,    so    the    meanings    attached    to    dress    have    also    increased    in    their    complexity    and    significance.    Consequently,    it    is    difficult    to    say    with    any    of    certainty    today    what    any    item    of    clothing    or    adornment    actually    means.    For    example,    a    man's    suit,    an    indicator    of    the    most    extreme    uniformity,    actually    conveys    very    differing    meanings    in    different    contexts    and    to    different    people.
