The fashion industry is made up of many components, the largest of which, women's wear, is examined as are the apparel runners-up, men's wear and children's wear. Rounding out the industry for finished goods is the ever-expanding field of accessories. Many of the accessories markets will be explored to show their impact on fashion, and their potential to make an even greater impact in the 21st century. 

Included in the presentation are fashion trends such as secondary designer collections, relaxed dress in the business world, often referred to as "Casual Friday," and the popularity of private labels and how they affect designer labels, each of which is addressed by Ms. Robin Mori, formerly of Seventeen Magazine, and now Special Events Director of Jacobson's Department Store.

Appearances by Ralph Lauren, who speaks of his entry into fashion, Oscar de la Renta, who talks about his detour into the fashion world, Judith Leiber, who talks about her unusual handbag designs, Richard Tyler's examination of how he designs a collection, and other notables in the industry.
