The Evolution of Typography: A Brief History - Print Magazine

Used by ancient civilizations of the world to represent ideas, these images soon evolved into alphabets and phonographic writing, which led to the development of various typographic systems. Typography has an “illustrious” history and is obviously a crucial aspect of graphic design. Sure enough, typeface designers need to have a thorough understanding of typography—especially its evolution over the centuries—in order to incorporate or revive older or even extinct typefaces, depending upon their requirements, and give the letters a modern touch.

As viewers we see how a collection moves along from conception of ideas, the drawings and pattern making. Then there is the intricate garment creation and eventually the runway show (where Oprah has a small cameo). But what happens after a fashion show? Watch and see, there are some lucky (wealthy) ladies who can afford to purchase these one-of-a-kind, personally tailored garments.
