Abstract

In the context of globalization and technological progress, the fashion industry is developing rapidly and cross-cultural exchanges are becoming more frequent. This paper explores the existence of the phenomenon of fashion reincarnation and the reasons behind it. Fashion reincarnation refers to a cyclical trend in which clothes and accessories that are popular at one time will be popular again at another time. This paper provides insight into the phenomenon of fashion reincarnation, including various reasons such as historical background, social and cultural factors, and economic factors. The paper also discusses the influence of fashion reincarnation on the fashion business and the function of mass media in the fashion reincarnation. By comparing fashion trends in different periods, the paper analyzes how mass media influences the perceptions and demands of fashion consumers, thus promoting the development of fashion reincarnation. Finally, the paper discusses the significance of fashion reincarnation, as well as the trends and possibilities of future fashion reincarnation. Exploring the phenomenon of fashion reincarnation helps us to better understand the development rules of the fashion industry, provides designers and brands with inspiration for innovation, and at the same time guides consumers to consume and appreciate the aesthetic values of different periods more rationally in the pursuit of fashion.
