T: Children, today we shall talk about fashion. To have fashion, you must first have clothing. When did fashion begin?

P1: Difficult to say… Since humans started covering up with leaves.

P2: A little history. Nobody knows exactly who was the first to invent clothes. Many many years ago people took off the skin from the animals. At first they only ate their meat, but then they began to use their skin as clothes.

P3: You forget to say that a man began to cultivate this skin to make it softer.

P4: Who knows when the first needle was invented?

P5: They say that 15000 years ago our ancestors invented the needle and began to sew the skins together. This was the first image of our clothes.

P6: Yes, I read that some 10000 years ago the people of Egypt made the first tissues. It was cotton, wool and flax. Later in China silk was invented. (Slide #2) .

P8: The Chinese didn't tell anybody about their secret of making silk. For 4500 years no one knew how to make it. In the 5th century from China to Byzantium two monks belonging to St. Basil's order returned. They were not searched at the custom's and in their crooks they brought the silk worms. So, due to them silk appeared in Europe.

P9: All this is very interesting. What other interesting facts from the history of fashion do you know? (Slides ##3-4).

P10:In the 12th century crusaders returned to Europe bringing with them unusual and luxury clothes from the East. They gave rise to the general use of the purse, which was suspended to the belt by a cord of silk or cotton, and sometimes by a metal chain.

P7: And in the 13th century appeared dresses with tight sleeves. The tight fit was achieved with lacing or buttons.

P8: And by men linen shirts were worn next to the skin. Over the shirt was worn a doublet. From around the mid-15th century very tight-fitting doublets, belted or tailored to be tight at the waist, giving in effect a short skirt below, were fashionable. Pants were parti-coloured(different colors for each leg, or vertically divided).

P9: In this period of time the best and the most fashionable fabric was velvet.

P11:In the 17th century solid color satins were in favor.

P3: What kinds of tissues were popular in the 20th century and now?

P4: Nylon. My mother said when she was young nylon dresses and shirts for men also made of nylon were very popular.

P10: Leather. Now we wear leather trousers, leather jackets, leather shirts, etc.

P12: Jeans. It's popular among young people.

P10: And Coco Chanel who introduced the skirt tweed suit, the little black dress, chain-handled handbags.

P11: jersey. She created comfortable, modern fashion which is still popular. Women loved Chanel little black dress which has remained popular ever since.

T: And it's nice that school uniform as well as business suit is usually created to be comfortable, modern, fashionable, practical and wearable giving us a classy look in office and at school.

P9: There are a lot of fashion houses, their creations are really wonderful! (Slides ##5-8).
