Nothing happens in isolation. There is always a beginning in every phenomenon we see in the world today. Hence, the fashion shows and fiestas being celebrated have wonderful historical antecedents.

Etymologically, history has it that the first recorded fashion show event was organized in America in the year 1903 in the famous New Your city. This took place in the fashion establishment of  the group known as Ehrlich Brothers. These were the then top American fashion designers and dealers who were said to have imported the fashion show idea from abroad before the down of the 20th century.
