By the early years of the 21st century, western clothing styles had, to some extent, become international styles.
This process began hundreds of years earlier, during the periods of European colonialism.
The process of cultural dissemination has perpetuated over the centuries as Western media corporations have penetrated markets throughout the world, spreading Western culture and styles.
Fast fashion clothing has also become a global phenomenon.
These garments are less expensive, mass-produced Western clothing.
Donated used clothing from Western countries are also delivered to people in poor countries by charity organizations.
Clothing sales, by contrast, are slowing down across the country, Ms. Rosenblum says, though those numbers may be more in terms of dollar sales than the number of units sold by retailers.
In addition to online sales, the slide in department store clothing sales is also affected by the rise of affordable, “fast fashion” retailers such as H&M, though that company also faced a sales decline during its first quarter.
