                   The video tells me that the styles changes because of the things or the issuses that people                      took care about at that time. For example, the invention of 3D-printad clothes is due to                        the invention of 3D printer and the invention of pants in workplace is because there were                    many women got the job and wanted to be hardworking at that time.

                 I think they changes many people's mind of clothing and let people know that wearing                          shows freedom and style of your own.
